Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 5: Mega Trouble In Megaland!

Back at Mother Brain’s lair on Metroid, she was most pleased with the current state of affairs.

Mother Brain: I’ve done it! Captain N and the princess will never be able to find their way out of that warp. I am the supreme ruler of Videoland once again!!

She laughed as though completely insane.  King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard grinned at each other, and then they laughed insanely as well.

Meanwhile, within the deadly Warp Zone to Oblivion. . .

The N Team fell into a region with countless branching objects of a rather orange color.  They landed screaming onto a large moving thing, resembling a Ripper from the game Metroid, that narrowly saved them from falling even further.  They got their wits together.

Kevin: Something tells me we’re about to have a nightmare on Mother Brain’s Street.

Mega Man: It’s the center of our universe,where all warps intersect.

Pit: (confused) But,which one of these warps did we come out of?

Lana: (worried) I don’t know,but the wrong one could take us to any of a hundred deadly fates.

Keven: Stay cool, guys! This is your captain speaking, and I’ve got an idea how to find the way home! Simon, have you got any rope in that backpack of yours?

Simon: Nope, (pulled a fishing pole out of his backpack) But I’ve got some fishing line.

Kevin: (smiled) Perfect!

They had anchored their platform by hooking one pipe with a hook and tying a length of line to the platform.  They were at a cluster of warp zones.  They had formed six extensions of fishing line from the central roll of Simon’s fishing pole, and each member had tied one extension around his or her waist.

Kevin: We’ll have a better chance of finding the way back if we each take a different warp. Whoever finds the right one, just give a tug on the line.

Mega Man: Affirmative!

He turned and jumped into a warp zone.

Pit Icarus flew over to two warps. first pointing at one and then the other repeatedly, and then dropping into one of them.

Duke leapt into one of them, but only the upper part of his body landed in it, and he yapped as he struggled to get the back part of his body in, which he did.

Kevin then faced Simon.

Kevin: You’re next, Simon.

Simon: Don’t be silly,I want to make sure both of you get off safely.

He escorted Lana over to one, and she stood poised to jump in.

Lana: That’s very thoughtful of you, Simon.

Simon pushes her in with both hands!

Lana: Whoa!

Kevin gave Simon the thumbs-up with his left hand.

Kevin: Good luck!

The Game Enforcer jumped into a warp.

Simon: Who needs luck when you have brains? (points to his head,indicates his line) I’ll just hang out here until I feel a pull on my line, and I won’t have to risk my handsome neck.

He grinned vainly.  Suddenly, a giant, disembodied set of teeth with jaws and a tongue popped up behind him!  Fortunately, he heard it approach.

Simon: On the other hand, why worry about a neck when you’ve got an entire body to think of?

The teeth attempted to pursue him as he headed to a warp zone, but the warp was to small for them. Simon cried as he fell through the warp.  The teeth clamped several times after missing him.

Pit Icarus emerged from his warp and looked around.  This was definitely Mount Olympius Coliseum.  He could tell, though the place was completely empty and a mess.  His warp was in the middle of the seating area.

Pit: Mount Olympius! I’m home!” (leaps out of the warp and tugged strongly on his line,yelling into the warp) I found it!

Within minutes, every member of the N Team was standing in the same area of the Coliseum.  “

Lana: Where is everybody? We’ve only been gone a few minutes.

Mega Man: That’s true for us, Your Highness (looked into his left wrist.  A panel opened, and the third digit on the console in his arm blinked)  But my sensors indicate a few days has passed on Olympius!

Kevin: I guess one of those warps must've been a time warp.

Lana: Then Mother Brain’s had free reign over Videoland for a week!

They departed the Coliseum.

Outside, a group of Klaydes (ugly,cartoony versions of kraid) was forcing a group of people to do hard labor with hammers.

Klayde: Work, faster! Or you’ll find out there’s worse places to be than Mount Mother Brain!

Lana: (surprised) Mount Mother Brain?

Man: (terrified) You’ve got to help us! King Hippo and the Eggplant Wizard have taken over our world, and Dr. Wiley took the Three Sacred Treasures to Megaland and conquered that world as well!

The image of Megaland entered Mega Man’s mind immediately.

Mega Man: Megaland! That’s my home!  We’ve got to warp there fast!

Lana: But nothing can stop the power of the Three Sacred Treasures!

Pit: I can, Your Highness!

Simon:Ha, ha! You!? Impossible!

Pit: Well, with the Fire Arrows, the Sacred Bow, and the Protective Crystal, I most certainly can!

Kevin: But you’ll have to get past Medusa to get ’em.

Pit: No problem,I dealt with her before,so this shoudn't be too though!

Lana: Kev and I will go with Mega Man and see if we can slow down Dr. Wiley until you and Simon get the power items we need.

Simon: But Medusa’s even uglier than Mother Brain,she can easily turn anyone into stone!

Kevin: Look on the bright side, Simon,You’d make a very handsome statue.

Simon: (delighted) Oh, yes! I would, wouldn’t I?

Simon and Pit Icarus ran off to find Medusa’s lair, while Kevin, Lana, Mega Man, and Duke went to the nearest warp to Dr. Wright’s lab.

As Simon and Pit head for Medusa’s palace, Captain N and the others warp off to Megaland. The group arrived on a plate in Dr. Wright’s lab that lowered them to the floor.  Dr. Wright, one of the greatest scientific geniuses in Megaland, stood and faced them. He was a small man wearing a green lab coat,had a long nose,and somewhat pointed ears. He also had 4 fingers on each hand.

Mega Man: Dr.Wright,My Creator!

Dr. Wright: (happily) Mega Man! I’m so glad you could come. (The team approached him). And you must be Captain N!  I’ve heard a great deal about you!

Kevin: (happy to meet the scientist). You’re the dude who built all those wicked cool robots,” Cut Man, Ice Man, Elec Man. . .

Dr. Wright: And don’t forget Fire Man, Guts Man, and Bomb Man. They were all meant for the workforce, until Dr. Wiley reprogrammed them for war. And now, he’s back again, and using the power of the Three Sacred Treasures to take over our world!

Kevin: Don’t worry, Dr. Wright,The Mega Man games are my specialty. Me and my team will blast Wiley back to Metroid.

Dr.Wright: Aye, But You’ll have to make it past all six deadly robots to get to him.

Kevin: No problem!

The N Team ran off to the lab’s warp area.

Mega Man: The warp to the first robot is over here!

They arrived in a region with warp zones to all the robots’ areas.

Kevin: Ah, you might want to wait here, Princess, These Robot battles can get pretty hairy.

Lana grabbed his Zapper with her left hand and twirled it.

Lana: My father trained me to fight for peace, Captain N,” she told him.  She fired off his Zapper with trained practice, and then she turned back to him with a determined look.

Lana: I can take care of myself.

Kevin: (impressed). Uh, heh, ah, you are coming!

Mega Man: We’ll challenge Cut Man first!

The other three followed him into one of the warps, and then they materialized at the bottom of Cut Man’s lair.

Kevin: Whoa!

Mega Man led the way to a ladder hurriedly.

Mega Man Hurry! The Bladers will be here any second!

The others ran to the ladder.  Lana climbed up after Mega Man, and then Kevin followed. Kevin looked back down to Duke, who was sitting at the base of the ladder. Kevin called to his dog and Duke whimpered, not really liking climbing ladders, but he knew he had to follow, so he climbed up.  When the dog reached the top of the ladder, Kevin helped him over onto the platform.

Suddenly, a Blader appeared.

Mega Man: A Blader! Duck!

The Blader zipped among the four, trying to hit them, but it failed.  When it veered away from them and then turned back for another pass, Kevin fried it with his Zapper.

Kevin: Ha, ha! Smoked ’im!

Mega Man: (directed, poised at another ladder) This way

He began climbing up, and the others followed.  Unfortunately, there were Beaks on various points of the wall on both sides of the ladder, and they were shooting bits of energy to knock down any ladder climbers.

Mega Man: Watch out for the Beaks!

The four climbed cautiously in the same order as before.  Mega Man took out one Beak with his blaster before he continued climbing.

However, one Beak got lucky and hit Kevin. the Game Enforcer cried as he fell to the platform they had just been on.  He fortunately fell clear of Duke.  He landed on his chest, and the right side of his head bumped against the ground.  Everyone else climbed back down to help.  Duke of course got to him first and ‘kissed’ his left cheek with his tongue.

Lana: (concerned) Are you all right, Kevin?

Kevin laughed quietly as he got up.

Kevin: Hey,I’m the Game Enforcer! They can't stop me.

But then he moaned.  Fortunately, he could tell that nothing had been broken, but he was still in pain.

Mega Man: But every time we get hit,we lose power.

He looked at the same wrist panel he had looked at before.  It showed six energy units, but red light was gleaming only in five of them, the sixth being black.

Some time later, the group arrived at the very top of the tower.  By now, Duke was riding on Kevin’s back.  When they had reached the top they all rested and breathed heavily.  Kevin collapsed on belly.  “

Lana: Oh,That was incredible.  I can't believe we actually made it all the way through!

Kevin: Unfirtunatlty,We haven’t.

Lana: You mean there’s more?

Meanwhile, Mega Man was checking his energy meter, and it did not look too good.  “

Mega Man: We’ve only got a little energy left.

Only three units now were gleaming in the meter.

Kevin got up, and then everyone else did.

Kevin: We’re almost there,All we have to do is get past Big Eye.

Laba: After what we’ve been through,an eye doesn’t sound too bad.

Then she heard a clashing noise and felt the ground shake, as did everybody, and they were all alarmed.

Kevin: It’s not the eye I’m worried about.

They turned, and they all saw Big Eye.  Actually, the eye was just the top portion.  The robot consisted of a large air-compressed jumping mechanism.  The deadliest part to it was the bottom, which due to the robot’s mass would crush just about anything when it came down from a jump.  And it was far larger than any of them.  It was jumping right towards them.

Kevin:It’s what’s attached to it!!!

He and Mega Man fired their weapons at Big Eye in an attempt to destroy it. However, Big Eye was unaffected, and it looked down at them.

Kevin: Our blasts aren’t cutting it!

Mega Man: We don’t have enough power!

The four attempted to run as Big Eye jumped towards them, but it landed just next to Mega Man, and he collided with it just as it landed.  The smaller android was knocked away in a blast of energy, and when he looked at their energy meter, he saw that two more units of energy were gone.  The other three gathered around him.

Mega Man: (cries out) We only got one energy unit left! One more hit, and we’re finished!

They looked up as the shadow of Big Eye’s square base fell on them, and they all cried out as the huge robot crushed them.

Suddenly, they all landed back at the starting point of Cuts Man’s lair, good as new.  “

Lana: (surprised) We’re alive!  What happened?

Mevin: We got the boot from ol’ Big Eye.

Lana: You mean we have to go all the way through again?

Kevin: That’s nothin’!  When I first played the game,it took me 50 tries to beat it!

Mega Man: I’m afraid this isn’t the same as your game, Captain N.

Lana: What do you mean?

Kevin: What I think he means is, if we get trashed two more times, we’re going to the big trash dump in the sky.

Mega Man: We must hurry!

As they headed towards the ladder again, a contingent of Bladers descended towards them.

Kevin: It’s déjà vu time, guys! Here we go again!

He and Mega Man took out the Bladers.

As Captain N and the others make another attempt to get to the deadly Cut Man, Simon and Pit Icarus make their way toward a rendez-vous with Medusa. Simon and Pit Icarus had arrived at one of the mountain’s western peaks, where the warp to Medusa’s lair lay in a small temple.  They hid behind a pillar and saw King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard in the temple’s hot tub.  Their hot tub was right in front of the warp zone to Medusa’s lair.  Both of the villains were quite contented.

King Hippo: Ah,I could grow to enjoy rulin’ this world for Mother Brain, eh, Eggy?

Eggplant Wizard: You said it,Hippo! There’s nothing like a hot tub and steam to make a guy feel like a new eggplant!

Pit: (quietly) They’re blocking the entrance to Medusa’s lair.

Simon thought and got an idea.

Simon: (quietly) Just leave everything to Simon Belmont, master of disguise.

The vampire hunter told the archer as he unslung his backpack and gave Pit Icarus the thumbs up with his left hand.

In a few minutes, the two walked into the temple in disguise.  Simon had on a blue toga and black wig that did not completely conceal his blonde hair, and he was wearing sunglasses.  He was holding his backpack by the handle in his right hand. Pit Icarus had on a purple football helmet with a yellow stripe down the middle from the front to the back.  King Hippo looked up at them as they passed by.

King Hippo: Hey!  You must be the steam bath repairman!

Simon nodded, while Pit Icarus shook his head.

King Hippo: This bath ain’t hot enough.  I’m barely sweatin’!

Simon: Ah, yes,Well, we’ll have it fixed for you in a jiffy, won’t we, Shrimpicus?

Pit Icarus: (gives simon a thumbs up) Whatever you say, Dopius maximus.

The two went over to the controls for the hot tub.

Simon got a large, heavy wrench out of his backpack.

Simon: Here,Hold this.

Simon hands the wrench to Pit Icarus,However, Pit Icarus was unprepared for the wrench’s weight, and he fell to the ground.Pit Icarus cried as he fell.

Simon picked up the wrench.

Simon: Laying down on the job, huh? (turns to Mother Brain’s fat slobs) Tell when it’s steamy enough for you!

King Hippo waved his left hand at him.  Simon then used the wrench to twist the heat knob, turning up the heat on the two goons.

Hippo: Hoo! (as the water bubbled up some more). That’s hot enough!

Simon: (as if he can't hear hippo) What’s that? Still too cold?

He turned back to the knob and gave it a very hard turn, causing it to spin wildly and pop off. Hippo and Eggy were now panting, and suddenly, the water in the fountain turned into a spout and sent them flying into the air!  Of course, the two fools were screaming.

Simon: (shouting over the loud bubbling sounds) We can use the steam as cover,Come on!

The two N Team members jumped into the warp to Medusa’s lair. Meanwhile, back in Megaland, Captain N and the others have made it back through the deadly Cut Man maze.

As the other four N Teamsters arrived at the top of Cut Man’s lair, a trio of shelled robots flew up after them.  Kevin blasted them all, and one of them released a red energy crystal that fell onto the ground.  Mega Man bent over, and when he touched it with his right index finger, it energized him. He rubs the region in his body where the belly would be on a human.

Mega Man: That energy cell hit the spot!

Kevin: Cool,so I guess were back to full power now huh?

Suddenly, they felt and heard Big Eye approaching.

Nega Man: It’s Big Eye again!!!!

Lana: Be careful, Kevin,If he flattens us, we’re dead!”

Kevin: Don’t worry, Princess I got to be Game Enforcer by learning from my mistakes.

He ran towards the huge robot as it jumped towards him, and, using his Power Pad, he jumped clear over it.  After he had fired some shots at it to provoke it, he ran towards the ledge.  He stopped just in time,seeing the great depths of the pit.  Big Eye would never survive that fall.  He turned back to the big jumper with a determined look.

Kevin: Come on, you big trash masher!  Try to crush me!  I dare you!

However, being a robot, Big Eye needed no taunting.  It had calculated that the threat was Captain N, and therefore Captain N was its target.  As Kevin fired at it, it approached him as steadily as it could.  However, just as it jumped towards the ledge Kevin was standing on, Kevin used his Power Pad to zip clear out of the way, and when it landed, its weight caused the ledge to give way.

Kevin zipped into place behind the big robot and fired his Zapper at the huge robot’s back repeatedly, assisting in the robot’s tilt as it began its descent down the pit.  Kevin watched as the robot was destroyed.  Lana ran over to him and hugged him happily.

Lana: You were magnificent, Kevin!

Kevin: You really think so?

Kevin twirled his Zapper and returns it to its holster.

Mega Man: There’s no time to waste! We’ve got to move it!”

Kevin: (while putting his arms around lana)Well,I wouldn’t call hugging a princess a waste of time.”

Seconds later, they were standing in front of a door leading to Cut Man’s inner sanctum.

Mega Man: When I open the door,we’ve got to run!  Ready?

Everyone else nodded, including Duke.  Mega Man then punched the door, and it began to move up slowly.  Mega Man knelt beside the door and looked in as it rose, and he waved his friends in when it was safe.  Kevin and Duke ran in first, then Lana, and finally Mega Man.  They began running down a long hallway that went through several doorways.

Suddenly, as they approached the first doorway, a weak clone of Ice Man popped from out of sight behind the doorway and used an ice pistol to shoot small but deadly ice spears at the heroes.  The first few spears stuck into the ground in front of Kevin; he leapt over these and shot the evil robot clone with a shot from his Zapper, and the robot disintegrated into video dust.

Duke looked to his left and barked suddenly as he saw a weak clone of Fire Man shoot a fireball from his right arm cannon at Kevin.  The dog charged forward and knocked down Kevin before the fireball—complete with evil-looking eyes—could burn him alive.  The instant Duke was off him, Kevin turned onto his back and shot the Fire Man clone with his Zapper.

On the right wall, a clone of Elec Man suddenly shot deadly electricity at Kevin.  Noticing this, the Game Master stood for a moment on his left hand and feet so the charge could hit the ground safely underneath him, and then he dropped and rolled to his right onto his belly, aimed for Elec Man, and fried him with a Zapper blast.

Getting up, Kevin noticed a clone of Bomb Man was behind Mega Man.  The explosive robot was preparing to toss a bomb at Mega Man. Mega Man turned around and fired some energy from his right hand blaster at Bomb Man.  It hit the bomb just as Bomb Man threw it, and the bomb detonated in midair.  Bomb Man shielded his face from the blast with his left arm, and when he looked with surprise at the bomb remains sitting on the floor, a blast from Kevin’s Zapper hit him full in the chest and vaporized him.

Kevin gave the thumbs up with his left hand before turning around and shooting the clone of Guts Man that was preparing to pounce on him.  When the robots were finished off, Duke, who had been lying defensively on the floor, got up, and Mega Man and Lana resumed running down the hallway.  They ran past Kevin, who followed them beside Duke.  They ran through the doorway into a room where one Screw on the ceiling and one on the floor shot yellow blasts at them.  The heroes turned, and the other three got behind Kevin.  They dodged all the blasts, and Kevin whirled and vaporized the two Screws.  Suddenly, a door split open to the right of the heroes as they came through this room, and Cut Man came through this door.  The wickedly programmed robot had a lethal blade that looked like a set of deadly scissors on top of his head.  He gave the N Team a wicked grin.


Cut Man: Cut Man’s the name,Cutting’s my game! Eat Cut Blade!

He bent forward slightly, and the blade came flying off his head to assault the N Team.  Mega Man ducked, Duke lay down, and Kevin and Lana each leaned out of the way as the blade flew to the center of their group.  Laughing evilly, Cut Man held out his arms and made “peace-signs” with them.  However, he did not mean peace but cutting, for he brought the index finger and middle finger together on both hands at the same time while his blade was airborne.  The blade came back like a boomerang and returned to its place on top of his head.

Kevin: Ha, ha!

He and Mega Man readied their weapons and fired at Cut Man’s chest, but their shots were all deflected harmlessly.

Kevin: (surprised) Huh?”

Still grinning demonically, Cuts Man sent his blade flying again, and it struck Mega Man squarely in the chest. Mega Man cried, falling on his back.  Cuts Man laughed as the blade returned to his head.

Lana: He’s too powerful,We can’t stop him!

However, Kevin was more optimistic about the situation.

Kevin: We can with a little help from man’s best friend

He turns to his dog,kneeling and placeing his left hand on Duke’s head.

Kevin: Duke, ol’ boy, remember how you loved to bark and run circles around the gardener?

Duke nods,

Kevin: (removes his hand from Duke’s head)Well, Guess what!  He’s the new gardener!

Cut Man was hopping and snapping his blade as he made scissoring motions with his fingers as before.

Kevin: (stands u,points to Cut Man) Go get'im!

Duke charged up to Cut Man just as the robot released his lethal blade.

Cut Man: (snapped) Go away, you four-legged flea bag!

The Dog was yapping and running in circles around him.

The N Team evaded the blade as it flew around them. Kevin commanded Duke to lay down as the blade was returning to Cut Man,Duke obeyed.  Unprepared for the blade’s return, Cut Man turned to run, but the blade stuck him in the rear end, and he was vaporized into video dust.  Duke popped back up and ran to Kevin, who was waiting for him.  Kevin put his right hand on the dog’s neck and patted the dog’s head with his left hand.

Kevin: Good boy, Duke!

Lana: (coming over to kevin) Well, that wasn’t too bad.

Kevin: You’re right, Princess (stood back up) Compared to rest of the stages,this one was a sinch!

Lana’s surprised look indicated that she did not like this at all. Meanwhile, back on Mount Olympius, Simon Belmont and Pit Icarus approach Medusa’s lair in search of the needed power items.

As they neared Medusa’s lair, Simon and Pit Icarus looked at the statues in one chamber they passed through.

Simon: What perfectly dreadful statues,Medusa has lousy taste in art.

Pit: That’s not art,They’re Medusa's victims!

Simon’s eyes widened in surprise.  They continued forth.

Pit Icarus: (points ahead). Simon!

He was indicating an altar with a bow, an arrow, and a mirror shield.

Pit Icarus: These are the three power items we’re looking for!

Suddenly, they heard loud screeching laughter from the left side of the hallway crossing theirs at the altar, and the shadow of a figure with snaking tendrils atop its head appeared against the altar and the wall it was connected to.  It stopped moving.

Medusa: So,Pit Icarus you're here,eh. And it looks like you brought a friend too. Good,I'll finally have my revenge against you,you little bird-brain..and I'll make a nice statue out of you're handsom friend.

The shadow started moving again,while laughing wickedly.

Pit Icarus slapped his hands over Simon’s eyes and shut his own.

Pit Icarus: Close your eyes!

Simon: What do you mean, don’t look. (pushes pit off of him and runs his left hand through his hair to fix it) How are we supposed to get the power items if we can’t look where we’re going?

Pit: We’ll have to wear blinders,Take off your backpack.

Somewhat reluctant, Simon unslung his backpack and set it on the ground. Pit Icarus opened it and rummaged through it, tossing away a flashlight, a windup alarm clock, a camera, a paint roller, a welding mask, and a small typewriter and a toothbrush.  The first useful thing he found was an empty blue can marked ‘VERMILION’.  After that, he found a yellow can marked ‘QWIK-DRY BLACK PAINT’, which had a paintbrush sticking out of it.  He flew up to Simon’s face, pulled the goggles down over the vampire hunter’s eyes, and painted some black paint over the goggles.

Simon: Hey!! I can’t see!!

Pit Icarus: (giving simon a thumbs up) Good!

The small archer landed back on the ground next to the empty can and flung away the paint can.

Pit Icarus: I’ll get the power items; you distract Medusa. (puts the empty can over his head)  And Whatever you do,avoid direct eye contact!”

Simon: What am I?  An idiot?

The two N Team Members stumbled down the hallway with arms extended forwards.  Along the way, Pit Icarus collided with the knee of one stone warrior and was knocked over on the bottom of his can, his feet flailing in the air.  Simon, however, met with no obstructions until his right hand met with a smooth bracelet.

Simon: (stops) Excuse me.


Medusa: (using a sweet feminine voice) Hello there,. . . handsome.

What he could not see was that this voice belonged to a hideous, turquoise-skinned woman with snakes on her head, slitted eyes, and pyramid-shaped earrings.  She wore a pink dress that did nothing for her figure.  The snakes in her hair had pink bows around their necks near their heads.

Medusa: (still using her feminine voice) Why don’t you take those goggles off and gaze upon me!

Simon: Ah. . .  You don’t sound very. . . ugly.

Simon was falling for her act. Meanwhile, Kid Icarus, having gotten back up, proceeded immediately to the altar.  He collided with it, knocking down the three power items sitting on it and falling down himself.

Medusa: (using feminine voice) I’m not ugly,You’re little friend’s just jealous,because he thinks I'd fall for you instead of him.

Simon did not even think about the fact that Icarus would never do such a thing.

Simon: Why, that little sneak,wanting you all to himself.

Keeping his eyes closed, he lifted his goggles above his eyes.  He extended his arms as if ready to embrace her.

Simon: How about giving your handsome Hero a great big. . .

He opened his eyes, and then he saw the vision of ugliness before him.  He screamed as her evil magic began working on him, and he turned to stone.

Pit Icarus had already gathered the power items, and he ran into something that had not been there before.  After landing on his rear, he lifted the can above his eyes just long enough to see that he had run into Simon’s stone foot, elevated above the floor as he tried to run.  Swiftly, he pulled the can back down and ran before Medusa could catch him.  However, he ran into Simon’s backpack and tripped upside down into the pack.  The blue can was knocked away, but fortunately he still had the power items in his hands.  Shrieking with devilish laughter, Medusa came after him and grabbed him by his small legs.

Medusa: (normal voice) Your time has finally come,Pit Icarus!  Aha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Her eyes lit up with bright light, which was what caused people looking at her to become stone.

Pit: (strugling) No!

Pit Icarus cried, holding the protective crystal mirror over his face as Medusa pulled him out of the backpack.

Pit: Look! (bends upwards so that the crystal would show the villainess her reflection) You lose again,Medusa!.

Seeing her own hideous reflection.

Medusa: (shrieks): No!! Curse You,Pit Icarus!!!

 She did all of Videoland that great favor.

Suddenly, Simon returned to his human state.

Simon: Whoa! Who knew being a statue,would be.. (puts his left hand on his right shoulder and stretches) so uncomfortable.

Pit icarus: Never mind that! (carrying Simon’s backpack, which now held the power items) We’ve got to get these power items back to Megaland.

Suddenly, the stone heroes all turned back to normal. They are all confused.

Simon (comibg up to the soldiers) You’ve enlisted in an army against Mother Brain! As your commanding officer, I order you to free this world!

Cheering, the warriors raced out of the lair.  Suddenly, a yellow warp opened above Simon and Pit Icarus, and they both leapt into it. As Simon and company warp off to Megaland, Captain N and the others arrive at Dr. Wiley’s secret command center.

The door to a room in Wiley’s lair was vaporized, leaving a hole perfect for the entry of Duke, Captain N, Princess Lana, and Mega Man.  Entering the room, they looked around, and to their left was a computerized chair facing away with them.

Dr.Wiley: I’ve been expecting you,N-Team.

The chair’s occupant, Dr. Wiley,turned the chair so he could face them.  Captain N twirled and holstered his Zapper.

Wiley: Congratulations on nearly destroying—wheeze!—my deadly androids.”

Lana: But we did destroy them.

The evil scientist shook his head.

Dr.Wiley: I’m afraid not, Your Highness.

With his left hand, he pointed to what appeared to be a semicircle in the back wall, with a supersteel barrier in the shape of one quadrant of a sphere.  The sphere barrier opened, revealing a super generator that held the Three Sacred Treasures.

Dr.Wiley: You see, the Sacred Treasures that Mother Brain let me borrow,have given me great power!

The N Team gasped at this startling revelation.

Dr.Wiley: I have more than enough to revive my little generals!

He turned and keyed in commands on his keyboard.  There was another quarter-sphere barrier in the back wall of the room, and it opened to reveal all six of Dr. Wily’s lethal robots, all ready for action!

Wiley: Destroy the Heroes!

The six androids charged for the heroes.

Mega Man: We’d better make a retreat!!

As Ice Man fired from his ice pistol, the four N Teamsters turned to exit, but suddenly deadly icicles appeared and completely barred their way to the door.

Lana: So much for that idea.

Kevin:Oh, man,What I wouldn’t give to be able to press my reset button!

Elec Man hit Mega Man dead on with a powerful electric beam.  Fire Man shot a fireball at Kevin and Lana, but they leant aside, and the fireball hit the icicle barrier, causing it to melt and hit the N Team with a spray of water.

The lethal androids advanced slowly on the N Team, but suddenly Simon and Kid Icarus warped in.  Pit Icarus was holding the bow and arrow, and Simon had the protective crystal mirror shield.

Simon: (heroicly) Never fear,Simon Belmont is here!

Dr. Wily was displeased by the entrance of the two heroes, and he was even more annoyed by Simon’s heroic entrance speech.  He wheezed before delivering his next order.

Wiley: (annoyed) Pulverize that stupid vampire hunter!”

Fire Man prepared a flame in his left arm cannon, and then he shot this fireball at Simon, who held up the mirror shield to the flame.  The shield magically eliminated the fireball.

Simon: Whew,Am I glad that worked!

Laba: Pit Icarus, quick! Shoot the Fire Arrow at the Three Sacred Treasures!

Pit Icarus raised his new bow, strung the Fire Arrow into it, and aimed at the Sacred Treasures.  However, the arrow instead hit the machine holding the treasures and reflected off!  It bounced off Wily’s chair, the ceiling above his control panel, the hood above the control panel, the top of the wall near the N Team, part of the ceiling just centimeters away from this wall, and throughout the whole room.  It even flew down just in front of a very surprised Simon Belmont, who cried!

Pit: Oh,man!! The only Fire Arrow, and I missed!

Lana was watching the arrow bounce around.

Lana: Not yet.

She lifted her tiara, and the arrow bounced off of the emerald in the crown and hit the middle Sacred Treasure dead on.  The entire device holding the treasures exploded, and the six robots cried out as they disintegrated into balls of energy.

Dr. Wiley was shocked, and then the entire N Team faced him.  Kevin was in the middle.  Standing to his right were Duke and Simon, standing to his left were Mega Man and Lana, and hovering directly above Mega Man was Pit Icarus.  Kevin put his hands on his waist on either side of his belt, and it was clear that neither he nor any of the rest of the N Team was happy about what had just gone down.

Neither was Wiley.

Dr.Wiley: You’re finished now, Captain N!

Instantly, his chair turned inside out and became into a personal red mini jet car aimed directly at Kevin!  Not only that, the engines were firing up!

Lana:He’s going to ram us!!

Kevin: Not if I have one word to say about it,and I do.”

With his right index finger, he pressed the black rectangular button closer to the right on his Power Pad, and as he did, it glowed red, and the fourth energy bar from the left on top of the pad glowed a bright light green.

Kevin: Pause!

Suddenly, just as Dr. Wiley’s jet took off, it froze in time, as did Kevin’s five scattering friends.  Kevin ran to the left side of Wiley’s cockpit, opened the cockpit lid, and fiddled with Wiley’s controls.

Kevin: A little sabotage is in order.

After he was finished, he stepped away from the car.  When the pause had ended, the car spun out of control and then flew in a spiral out the door that Kevin had melted open, and it took a big chunk out of it and the many walls beyond.

Meanwhile, back on Mount Olympius, the heroes that Simon had sent to free the land had nabbed King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard, and they were now holding them. And on three, they flung the two lowlifes screaming into the warp to Metroid.

On the planetoid Metroid, Mother Brain was sitting pretty with a huge, opulent crown across the top of her jar, and she was vainly regarding her hideous countenance with a hand mirror held in her right tentacle.

Mother Brain: Once Dr. Wiley returns my 3 Sacred Treasures,I'll conquer even more Worlds!

Suddenly, she heard screams from above.  First Wiley’s jet car and then Eggplant and Hippo came tumbling through the warp above.  Wiley’s jet car crashed on the floor before her, dumping him out, and then King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard crashed next to him.

Mother Brain: What?!!”

Suddenly, Kevin and Princess Lana appeared in normal clothing on her viewscreen, and they were in the Palace of Power’s throne room.

Lana: We've destroyed the 3 Sacred Treasures,Mother Pain!

Kevin: Game over,You lose!

Then the screen flipped off, and Mother Brain simply flipped.

Furious, she whirled to her three ‘subjects’.  She had to vent her rage to somebody in about two seconds, and they were the only ones available.

Mother Brain: Idiots!! (charges up the electrodes on top of her jar) You’ve ruined everything!!!!

She shocked the three fools repeatedly as they attempted to run out of the room.
