Okay, Let's Work With That

By Gauntlet (Shadowman), and Geoff (Sparkman)

(Yeesh. That was a lot of backstory that amounted to "everyone quit, Shadow and Gemini are dead, and Hadrian is wallowing in the gutter." Let's work with that. Hadrian gets a mysterious job from a mysterious character known as ‘B'. After getting some heavy firepower and maiming some goons, he heads out to a scummy warehouse, where he finds out his target is none other than-)

Diveman: (bottles of vodka in each hand) Youuuu! You got what I neeeeeeddd!!

Hadrian: Ooh, I've been waitin' a long time fer this! (guns down Diveman with a gattling gun)

Diveman: What the fuck?! What the hell did I ever do?!

Hadrian: You were a heartless murder machine during the entire war!

Diveman: So was Gemini and Magnet and you forgave them.

Hadrian: Didn't you read that previous stuff we just went over?

Diveman: Can't be bothered.

Hadrian: You made a crude remark ‘bout Cassandra at her funeral. Then we got into a drunkass brawl that was the start of me getting kicked off the team.

Diveman: When the hell did that happen?!

Hadrian: Fifteen year gap.

Diveman: I can tell already this shit's gonna get on my nerves.

Hadrian: Not fer long.

(Hadrian guns down Diveman, taking back his accent and sets off to meet his client, the mysterious "B.")

Middleman: I knew you'd get the job done. Consider your debts paid off and this apartment paid for. I'll be in contact when I need you again. (Steps out to…Grab a smoke or something.)

Hadrian: Nope. Nothin' suspicious ‘bout that guy.

Psycho Magnet: Good. Glad you picked up on that.

Hadrian: Needle?! Yer back??

Psycho Magnet: Yes. And so is Forte Chan, Raijin and Kenta. I've been working undercover as Constance to figure out what Middleman's up to. Which is, apparently, to assassinate a bunch of world leads at a summit in Monsteropolis to throw the world into chaos. So just play along for now.

Hadrian: Sure. As long as I ain't gettin' too old fer this shit.

Psycho Magnet: Come on, even if you're suddenly fifteen years older, you can't be THAT old. It's not like you were pushing fifty before you were Hardman.

Hadrian: …Fine. How about “I've seen better days. But I ain't done.”

Psycho Magnet: …Better.

Raijin: Do I have to be going bald now?

Hadrian: Yes. Yes, you do.

(Hadrian meets up with Spinning Demon (now known as SD), Kenta (now a Japanese business man named Nagi Kurasawa, and Raijin who's now Lucas Denozo, who fill him in on everything that's happened the past fifteen years).

Hadrian: So in fifteen years, the other teams got pissy at us over my brawl with Dive. General Cutman came back, not that RPD could be bothered to do nothin' ‘bout it. Even after he dismembered Wily and scattered his body across Monsteropolis. When ya did go after him, RPD put a bounty on yer heads that the other teams were happy to get in on. Classi and Kenta can' bring ‘emselves to fight their former friends and quit. The Cossacks struck a deal with Gen Cuts to take ya out so he'd leave Russia alone. Then ya kill mos' o' ‘em, includin' Cossack.

SD: That last one was an accident. Honest.

Hadrian: And then ya guys beat General Cutman. Again.

Kenta: …We think so…Not that we all remember it the same way.

Hadrian: …Nope. Nothin' suspicious ‘bout that. But Gauntlet ‘n Lennon sacrifice ‘emselves in the process.

SD: That much we agree on.

Hadrian: Sounds like more shit went down in that one paragraph than in an entire season o' Cossack's Comrades. Wish I coulda been there ta see it with my own eyes rather than just hear ‘bout it.

Raijin: We did try to invite you back. Didn't you get our e-mails?

Hadrian: What e-mails?

Raijin: …Oh…

….

Hadrian: But long story short, our friends were a buncha selfish jerks who won't stick up for us. RPD would sooner sit on its hands than go after a genocidal madman who nearly destroyed the world. And the Cossacks are a buncha cowardly sellouts.

Dr. Light: To ensure the success of this very important gathering of world leaders I've decided to make a new team: The Sterling Sentinels!

Sterling Sentinels: Hey, everybody!

SD: Shit! They were tipped off and are causing us a lot of trouble.

Hadrian: With powers they never display in Mega Man 9. It's almost as if this story was written before the game even came out.

(The Mechs eye Hadrian warily.)

Hadrian: Anyway we manage to go after the people Middleman sent to blow things up sky high and stop them, despite the Sentinels getting in the way.

Middleman: Except that it was all an elaborate fake out and there was never going to be any explosion. Hope you enjoy dying.

Hadrian: No explosion? Well, it's a good thing someone slipped me my Hardman armour, so I've got a fighting chance now! All right, Middleman, if that is you're real name -

Middleman: It is actually.

Hardman: What's your scheme you dirty schemer?

Middleman: I gathered up all the Evil Energy that was sent Earthwards when Mesmerman's satellite blew up at the end of the the war.

Topman: Turns out we all have our armour back just in time.

Shadowman: Thanks to me and Gems!

Geminiman: We're back and this time I get to share in Shadowman's mysteriousness!

Spark Chan: We'll stop you, jerkface!

Middleman: And will you stop Cityman?

Cityman: BLARRRRGH!!!!

Middleman: AND NOW I'LL KILL ALL THOSE IMPORANT LEADER TYPES!

Shadowman: 'twas a hologram.

Middleman: Wait, what!? Still!?

Geminiman: Still!

Shadowman: We kept tabs on you and got the Mechs their armour back. By the way once we win we'll be an officially sanctioned team again!

Sterling Sentinels: You won't if we have anything to say about it!

(The Sterling Sentinels have nothing to say about it. Hardman takes center stage as the team splits up and defeats them all. Shadowman uses his mysteriousness to send tanks against Cityman as Hard, Gemini and Spark destroys the behemoth from within.)

Concreteman: We were turned into zombies within Cityman as a kind of antibody system.

Tornadoman: How embarrassing.

Middleman: (erupting in a massive pillar of Evil Energy) You beat Cityman!? But he's gigantic and cool and perfect! You've ruined all my plans! Why didn't I just kill you in your sleep or something!? Why did I have to toy with you!?

Needlegal: Whiner.

Middleman: Oh man, using living Evil Energy was probably a very bad idea...

(Middleman explodes and reforms as Mesmerman is reborn!)

Mesmerman: As long as evil exists .... MESMERMAN LIIIIIIIIIVES! (Mesmer flies off)

Shadowman: God damn it.

Gaderham: Welcome back to the RPD, Mechs!

Hardman: Gaderham, old buddy old pal!

Gag: And I'm here too! And I'm a lieutenant now.

Hardman: Gag! Aw, I missed ya.

Shadowman: Wait, what about Crorq?

Hardman: This is a Hadrian story, G.

Shadowman: Right. I see one or two things need to be fixed up.

Gaderham: But here's something you'll like!

Shadowman: SWEET! The Technodrome! And ... it still doesn't have it's eyeball?

Gaderham: That's right. And it's yours (sorta, it's staying here) provided you're freelance heroes again. And there's this ... insurmountable problem we need help with too.

Snakeman: Sounds like a plothole someone will need to fill in later.

Spark Chan: Alright! We're a team again! Our bond is stronger than ever! And we're ready for anything the world can throw at us! What's our next fresh adventure?

Captain N: A retelling of the original plot for Mega Man 3!

Topman: Wait, didn't Archie do that already?

Snakeman: And Ariga too. Why don't we just choose one of those takes?

Shadowman: No! Neither of them existed when this was written.

Magnetman: Fair point, but this won't even have any of the current -

Shadowman: We'll have our own, epiverse canon adventure and it'll be great!

Spark Chan: Okay, that works. I guess…

Captain N: And this time, I'M part of the story! That means we get reference my old TV show! That's gotta offer some new perspective! Somehow!

(As it turns out, it does.)

K. Watson: Seems there's a Galactic Council out there.

S. Schwartz: Totally foreshadowing and not just random plagiarizing from an obscure source book for the sake of random plagiarizing from an obscure sourcebook.

Breakman: Also turns out that I captured all the Mechs to use in Wily's diabolical and totally unpredictable plan for world domination. We're pretending these guys went bad thanks to "the Zero Virus."

Topman: I used to be green?

Sparkman: And I used to be silver!? For real!?

Shadowman: I'll stop you from reprogramming these robots!

(Shadowman totally doesn't and is captured.)

Geminiman: Great. "Red" beat this one so badly he lost all his personality.

Hardman: nnnnnnhhhhhhh...

Snakeman: Creepy. Is the whole story like this? Part ridiculous part creepy?

Geminiman: It's like it was made much earlier under very different circumstances and with a very different tone and direction and someone just couldn't throw even the tiniest bit away. But it couldn't be that!

Shadowman: Stop editorializing and resume the summary

Dr. Light: Megaman! You must go to each mining world and bring the infected robots in line.

Megaman: Mining World!? So ... we're keeping that part of the story in here?

Dr. Light: It seems we're keeping all the stupid parts, yes.

Doc Robot: HEY!

Dr. Wily: Obviously not you, Doc Robot.

Doc Robot: Oh goodie goodie! Doc Robot loves brilliant master!

Dr. Wily: Heh heh. I love you too, my delightful sycophant.

Megaman: Rush is awesome!

Captain N: Duke is better!

Megaman: My dog can turn into a jet, and a submarine, and a springboard. And he can talk!

Rush: Here we go again. Arf, arf.

(Megaman knocks the green right off Topman using his Hard Knuckle.)

Topman: YEOW! Hey, this is a lot better. Thanks!

Sparkman: Same thing happened to me. I kinda miss my silver look. And I lost my new hands too. *sniff*

Captain N: Let's take down Ninjaman!

Shadowman: Holy crap I hate you already!

(Captain N takes every opportunity to take the final shot over Megaman and uses knowledge from Nintendo Power and the second controller trick to show off overall.)

Captain N: Aren't I awesome?

Megaman: You're something all right.

Doc Robot (MM3): I'm in this too! Hey! Guys?

Breakman: Let's see just what you're made of, Megaman!

Megaman: Mega yikes, just who is that mysterious red robot?

Captain N: Heh. Who indeed?

Dr. Light: Right after we received the last element...Wily ran off with Gamma!

Megaman: Sizzling circuits.

(While Captain N and Megaman play Mega Man 3 with a lot of callbacks to epilogues and plot hole filling, a familiar evil slips in behind the sidelines and sneaks into Wily's castle).

General Cutman: Gamma. What a stupid plan for plan for world domination. I could've pulled a better plan out of my-

(Shadowman appears and chucks a Shadow Blade at the back of Cutman's head)

Shadowman: Like going back in time, inputting viruses that turn us into sleeper agents thusly changing the outcome of the war to your favour?

General Cutman: That's how it's done.

Shadowman: But seriously, you again?! Just how many times do we need to blow you up or have you burn up on re-entry before we can kill you off for good?!

General Cutman: I'll give you points for figuring out I was downloading myself into backup bodies. But what you didn't realize was I had ANOTHER ace in the hole. I used a modified, unrecognizable Time Skimmer to escape the blast and-

Shadowman: Just say fifteen year gap.

General Cutman: Hey, you asked.

(Shadowman and Cutman fight. General Cutman had to get rid of his nanobot body because there'd be no story otherwise it wouldn't survive the rigours of time travel, so fighting is possible. But Cutman rips Shadow's nerves out).

Shadowman: Tough as always. But there's only one problem…

General Cutman: You're not left-handed?

(Shadowman reveals himself to be Geminiman!)

Geminiman: That and I'm not Shadowman!

General Cutman: Balls!! Since when could you turn yourself into Shadowman?!

Geminiman: I used biometals! From the future!

General Cutman: I don't think that's quite how they work.

Geminiman: Oh, like you know. Let's just say we modified them to do whatever we want.

General Cutman: Sure, whatever.

Geminiman: More importantly, while I was distracting you, the real Shadowman and the other me set up a Time Stopper field to freeze you long enough to zap you to a cataclysmic event in the future.

General Cutman: No! Doomed by my own monologuing! How could a bot with over 200 IQ fall for that?!

(General Cutman is transported to the Day of Sigma. He gets obliterated by warheads launched by Sigma to declare war on humanity).

Hardman: Are we sure he's dead this time? Fer real?

(Everyone turns to Magnetman for some reason.)

Magnetman: Yeah, I don't think he's coming back from that.

Snakeman: Since when did we have access to crap like time travel and biometals?

Magnetman: And if someone says fifteen year gap, I'm going to pop 'em.

Quint: Oi! You rang?

Magnetman: Really?! You??

Quint: That's right! I'm a time cop now! With my own Tardis Time Skimmer and everything! I rescued Geminiman and Shadowman before the explosion killed them! You never thanked me for that.

Shadowman: And we never will. You dropped us off in the wrong time period! We didn't meet up with the team until AFTER the team had fallen on hard times and went their separate ways!

Geminiman: At least you guys were around for the fifteen year gap. We had to piece it together ourselves after being ditched by a time traveler! And we still had to recover the missing Transmetal armour!

Quint: Yeah. I'm sorry about that. But with me around, now we can make as many sneaky retcons as you want. That's the perks of having a friend with access to time travel.

Topman: Real friends would've patched up fifteen year gaps that involve a bitter feud amongst all the teams and an epic final battle against our worst enemy.

Quint: No, that one's taken care of. But trust me, I still got my work cut out for me. You'll be seeing me again.

(Quint departs in his Tardis Time Skimmer)

Spark Chan: Okay, we got off to a muddy start. But at least we're together again! We're back to freelance heroes! We don't have to deal with Crorq anymore-

Crorq: Oh yes you do! Gablahblahblahblah!! (stuffs himself with fast food).

Hardman: What?? NO!! We thought Gaderham was our boss!

Gaderham: And by that, I meant he's your boss too.

Hardman: And that we were freelance heroes now!

Crorq: Well ... on paper you're free. But that word has much much grey in it. I mean a dog in a house can be free so long as he stays within his place. You are no less free than any given prisoner let out during the day. Does that clear things up?

Spark Chan: Unfortunately it does.

Snakeman: So really, nothing's changed!!

Torchman: Things have changed plenty, wretched Mech. For I, the mighty TORCHMAN am your superior as well!!

Shadowman: Oh HELL no! You're still around, too?!

Torchman: Bah! If you think this is humiliating now, you should see what's in store for you later! It's only going to go downhill from here for you!

(Sure enough, the Mechs and the Sinister Six suffer a humiliating battle against Heaven's Hammarz. A Mega Man 10 team that somehow out-Sinister-Sixes the Sinister Six).

Commandoman: We r teh awesomez!11!1!!

Magnetman: Really? These guys beat us?! How low can we go?!

>>	Gemini Man05/12/20XX(Thu)20:10 No.58820777      File1273190014.jpg-(25 KB, 48x48) How about venturing to 4chan/babbelfish to look for missing n00bs?

Shadowman: Have you finished work on that eyeball, Brain Bot?

Brain Bot: You're not getting something ridiculous like an eyeball. It's bad enough we're humouring you as much as we are.

Shadowman: Damn, damn, damn! Think back, guys. When did we last see it?

(15 years ago...)

Crorq: INFIDELS!! The Sinister Six have been calling you out! And they're blocking traffic while doing so: GET RID OF THEM!

Torchman: Come face me, Mechs!

(Today...)

Shadowman: THEY'RE THE ONES WHO STOLE THE TECHNODROME'S EYEBALL!! I'll show them!! (attacks the S6PC)

Torchman: How dare you fight RPD officers?!

(The Mechs get arrested for picking a fight, but are soon back on the streets as the Six choose to inexplicably not press charges. In the cover of night they sneak into their base and acquiring pieces of the long lost eyeball. They soon look for the rest of it and run into…).

Artilleryman: Really? You guys are only just now looking for that thing?? Torch and I ripped that off years ago. (The Mechs pay an exorbitant price for Arty's piece of the eyeball.)

Omniman: If you want it back, here it is!

Topman: Oh good. You guys are back. Of course you are.

Omniman: And we have sweet new upgrades!!

(Omniman throws the last piece of the eyeball at the Mechs.)

Omniman: Ever since we got that thing our luck has been terrible! It's nothing but a damned curse!

Golemman: GOLEM HATE EYEBALL!!

(The Mechs finally rebuild the Technodrome's eyeball.)

Shadowman: Yes!! Now that we have that back, we're on top of the world! Things are going to start turning around for us, just you see!

Needlegal: Let us know when Crorq and Torchman aren't our bosses anymore.

Shadowman: One thing at a time!

Crorq: Infidels!! Why haven't you investigated the weird, possibly Scissor Army-related signal out in Nonsteropolis?!

Spark Chan: You haven't asked us to yet.

Crorq: I don't ask! I command!! Gablahblahblah!!

Shadowman: Wait, the Scissor Army? Didn't they get wiped out?

Crorq: Some joker brought them back to plague us. So far we've been keeping it quiet.

Shadowman: Sounds like a hastily made excuse to cover over a plot hole.

Crorq: It does, doesn't it? Now off with you!

(Nonsteropolis is totally not Monsteropolis. Now it is an empty wasteland).

Snakeman: The SA signal should be around here somewhere…

Napalmman: It's us, cheesedicks!!

(The Ascendant Androids come out of nowhere and attack!)

Hardman: Han' on. I don' thin' it was those guys…

Nightmare Top: You're right, it was me!!

Needlegal: Then what's Artilleryman doing here?

Artilleryman: Fine! It was me!

Xelloss: No! It was me!!

Omniman: No, it was me!

Spark Chan: This is so weird! Every time we find one of our enemies, they just disappear! It's not like any of our enemies can conjure up illusions to disorient us!

(Hardman punches out Spark Chan for no reason).

Needlegal: What was that for??

Hardman: Don' be stupid guys! It's Mesmerman!

(Spark Chan transforms into Mesmerman)

Mesmerman: Ooff! Hey, that Hard Knuckle knocked some sense into me. Thanks!

Hardman: Whatever.

Mesmerman: Alright, I'll admit. I'm not on my A-Game after almost dying and now that I'm stuck in Middleman's body. Permanently it seems! (Although I can remodel it). No more multiple bodies ..

Hardman: And it looks like we've developed a firewall against your powers too.

Mesmerman: Darn it! Oh, well. We all have our off days. We'll pick this up later.

(Mesmerman departs).

Geminiman: Well, on the plus side, he can't just download himself into a new body and we're not as vulnerable to his games anymore. Not that Crorq's going to care.

Crorq: Why would I?! I have more important things on my plate, namely answering to my bosses.

Topman: You have a boos?

Crorq: Of course I have a boss! Everybody has a boss. Except, well, the people on the Galactic Council, of course.

Geminiman: It's strange that we've never heard of them before...

Crorq: Well, they've always been there. Yeah, this entire time.

(Crorq heads off to space to meet the Galactic Council and tries to kiss butt and take names)

Honus Wagner Card Man: I don't know who you're trying to fool, but most of the RPD's failures are on you.

Crorq: No they're not. They're…Uh, clearly my assistant's fault! Yes!

Brain Bot: Who? Me?! Hold on now, I actually have a few ideas of my own.

(Brain Bot spins the room and the Council is impressed.)

Honus Wagner Card Man: Good job! Crorq, you had better shape up.

Crorq: "Good job!?" Oh, that is it! Brain Bot, you are fired!

Brain Bot: Alright. Maybe the Mechs don't have the balls to do this. But I do.

(Brain Bot warps Crorq to the Island of Misfit Bots, where he's surrounded by Ariga and MMPC cameos!)

Misfit Bots: One of us! One of us!

(Crorq overpowers them easily)

Crorq: INFIDEL!! I am the MAGNIFICENT chief of the RPD and protagonist of this story! You are one shot characters who'll never be referenced again!! Who did you think was going to win?!

(Crorq escapes the island returns to RPD where Brain Bot is running things into the ground with micromanagement and poorly thought out decisions.)

Brain Bot: Your shift started a millisecond ago, why aren't you on your way out!

Magnetman: I don't technically work for you.

Brain Bot: You do when I say you do! Wait, Crorq!? You're back!?

Crorq: There will be no changes to the status quo on my watch! (banishes Brain Bot to the Island of Misfit Robots).

(Suddenly, Mesmerman reappears!)

Mesmerman: Guess what?? I'm back on my A-Game!

S6PC: No you're not!!

(The Sinister Six defeat him with surprisingly uncharacteristic ease and become heroes!)

Everyone: Three cheers for the Sinister Six! We suddenly believe they could be the real Mega Man 3 team! They're so much better than those washed up Mechanical Maniacs.

Magnetman: I can't believe we have to take this abuse!

Topman: But at least it was excuse enough for all charges against us accumulated during the war and the 15 year gap to be dropped.

Shadowman: Like the unnecessary plot complications they were.

Hardman: *harrumph*

The Mayor: We all love the Sinister Six!

Torchman: This is ... the happiest day of my entire life.

Needlegal: Right now, I'm wishing all of this is one elaborate Mesmerman illusion.

Crorq: INFIDELS!! The Sinister Six can't be the heroes! I'M the hero!!

Gaderham: Sure you are. How's analyzing Mesmerman going?

Crorq: It's going.

Gaderham: And his connection to the re-ermergence of the Scissor Army?

Crorq: Nothing. Figures.

(Suddenly, a squad of rogue Special Force units attack Crorq and Gaderham!)

Special Forces: Hello there.

Gaderham: Argh! Why do we keep these things around?!

(Crorq and Gaderham get manhandled and trapped inside RPD HQ as it collapses on them. In their absence, Oilman is made into the chief of the RPD!)

Oilman: It would've been Torchman, but he had a stroke from sheer happiness just as the mayor gave him the job. What a spaz.

Torchman: I'm so depressed. Maybe we should just cancel the whole operation.

Bitman: What!? We've waited over 15 years for this, no way!

Hardman: Is this gonna bode any better fer us?

Oilman: Hell no. You're fired. And we're taking the Technodrome. Suck it.

Topman: Things can't get any worse for us.

(As the Mechs pack up their stuff, they get attacked by foot ninjas and mousers, but it's really Topman's head being messed by "someone" in order to get him to input his access codes. But what is not an illusion is the Technodrome's ascent from underground and its attack on the city).

Oilman: Heh. It seems as if you people just can't help yourselves. I won't negotiate with terrorists! You're all dead! HAH!

Topman: Okay, NOW things can't get worse for us.

(The only way they can stop the Technodrome is for Magnetman to use his magnetic powers to rip it apart, frazzling Hardman and himself at the same time.)

Shadowman: My eyeball is gone forever now, isn't it? *sniff*

Needlegal: Shut up about the eyeball already! Sheesh.

Topman: Okay, now things REALLY can't get worse.

(The Sinister Six show up in Special Forces armour and attack the Mechs!)

SF Torchman: Shows how little you know!!

SF ???: Damn it, stop getting in my way!

Geminiman: No way! You guys really came up a plan to beat us?!

SF Oilman: That's what happens when you have fifteen years with nothing else to do.

Shadowman: Stupid time gap!

(The team narrowly escapes and hides in Dr. Light's old lab and try to get to the bottom of what's happened.)

Shadowman: Bizarro Shadowman has to be the key to this. The special forces armour, the Technodrome, they're all his technology. Everything is linked to him!

Snakeman: Or his technology anyway. The Sinister Six are definitely involved in this, but there's someone else too.

Topman: Well at least things can't-

Snakeman: Don't say it!

Topman: … At least our luck is starting to turn?

(Suddenly, the lab is under attack from the Ark, controlled by Nightmare Top!)

Nightmare Top: Disagree!!

(The Mechs narrowly escape as Nightmare Top-controlled Special Forces attack the city and S6 controlled Special Forces Units, and the villains make their separate plays to procure Bizarro's body!)

Topman: Nightmare Me is why I wigged out and thought I saw Foot Ninjas. He was behind the Technodrome's assault.

Nightmare Top: That's right! Those idiots used Bizarro's technology everywhere so it was easy picking for me. The Sinister Six also stole Bizarro's CPU back in Series 6 giving me time to decipher the technology.

Topman: Series 6!?

Shadowman: I guess that big War event postponed plans for a time.

Magnetman: Cry me a river.

Nightmare Top: Mesmerman captured me the War and General Cutman started work on me, but never finished it. I was a mess when you found me. But destroying my body didn't stop me at all! I'm now a free roaming virus with his sights on a new body. Bizarro Shadow is mine!

Needlegal: Torch, it's curtains for everyone if Nightmare gets Bizarro's body. How about a team up?

SF Torchman: Team up!? NO WAY! We set up our control over these Special Forces bodies and took out Crorq and Gaderham specifically to kill you. Why would we ever team up with the likes of you!?

Geminiman: Shit. That's a long time to have a plan on hold.

SF Blademan: The War held us up some!

Magnetman: BAH!

SF Oilman: If anyone gets Bizarro's body it's gonna be us!

Mesmerman: No, he's MINE. I need a better body than this piece of crap.

Needlegal: You're still alive!?

Mesmerman: Of course I'm still alive! And if anyone deserves an upgraded body it's me.

(Bizarro's body is destroyed amongst the fighting, and the Ark goes out of control and crashes into the villains!)

Shadowman: GOOD RIDDANCE to all of them!

Geminiman: Mesmerman almost certainly teleported out.

Shadowman: Fine. Two out of three isn't bad.

Spark Chan: The Sinister Six got away, too.

Shadowman: …C'mon! One out of three?

Topman: (shrugs)

Shadowman: What a load!! The Sinister Six managed to destroy Bizarro's body, even when it was hidden in one of Mesmerman's illusions!! Can't we be that lucky?!

Crorq: I'm all the luck you need!

Shadowman: WHY CAN'T THE PEOPLE WE HATE STAY DEAD?!

Crorq: Bah! Dropping a building on me just means I get an upgrade next series! Besides, if Spark Chan hadn't revived me, who would've shot down the Ark and dropped on all those INFIDELS for you?! GABLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH!!

Snakeman: Spark Chan!? You did this!?

Spark Chan: It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Needlegal: …We're back under your direct command now, aren't we?

Crorq: Everyone except those two! (points at Hardman and Magnetman).

Snakeman: What?! You mean after a world war and fifteen year time gap that changed the entire team dynamic, storyline and the tone to our stories, we're right back where we fricking started?!

Shadowman: Not quite right. While it's true that we Mechs are back where we started the entire world is different. The other teams are gone, so there'll be no more crossing over with them in other series. Wily's not around at all anymore either, and neither is Megaman. It's a much harsher place for us that it was before.

Snakeman: Yeah, but we Mechs are right back where we started in Series 6.

Shadowman: ... yes.

Crorq: There will be no changes to the status quo on my watch!

Kenta: I rejoined the team after a fifteen year absence for this??

Hadrian: Worst. Series. Ever.

Topman: Can I say things can't any worse now?
