Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 8: Gameboy!

It's been 6 months since the N-Team's attempt to rescue King Charles from the Mirror Warp. They failed and the Mirror Warp was destroyed. However,that didn't stop them from trying other methods to save the King.

High atop the Palace of Power, Princess Lana anxiously awaits the rescue of her father, King Charles, from the "Mirror Warp" to which Mother Brain banished him. The entire N Team is gathered in an observatory-type room. Kevin is seated in a chair.
 Lana: Hurry, Kevin! The Universal Warp only opens once every 1,000 years,...and it's almost time!

Kevin: This is hurrying, Princess. I'm The Game Enforcer, remember?
 
A digital clock is counting down the seconds from 04:34. Kevin presses a button on the console.

Kevin: Okay,Mega Man,you're up.

Mega Man: Roger Captain N!

Mega Man reveals a key in his left index finger and opens the shutters. Then Mega Man pulls a lever.

Mega Man: Energizing Tractor Beam! 


The tractor beam energizes. Lana is excited.

Lana: Finally,my father will be safely home again.

They receive a transmission from King Charles. The King appears on screen.

Lana: Father! When will you be back? I miss you so!

King Charles: I miss you too,Lana! But,I'm afraid I won't be coming home quite yet. There's room for only one in the Space Capsule,and I feel that it's best for Videoland that I send Gameboy in my place. Gameboy is a remarkable creature.

Lana: But Why?

King Charles: When Mother Brain destroyed my Wife and your Mother years ago,I tried to avenge her loss..but ultimately failed,as you can see. I was no match for Mother Brain then,and I'm no match for her now. It's best to send the special teammate instead. Do not worry,Gameboy will prove himself to be a great asset against Mother Brain. I will yet for a way to return to you someday. Take care,child.

The transmission ends. Lana is a bit sad.

Simon: Don't worry your loveliness,Me and this Gameboy fellow will defend Videoland. (smugly,to kevin) So that means we won't be needing you anymore, Captain N!.

Kevin disputes that.

Kevin: Not a chance,Belmont! Do we have your support on this,Princess?.  

Lana is lost in thought,but quickly snaps out of it.

Lana: Oh, Yes...of course. At this point,we need all the help we can get.

On Metroid, Mother Brain has seen all of this through her monitor (via her micro spy bots).

Mother Brain: A new teammate,eh? Well,not If i get him first. King Hippo and the Eggplant Wizard,get the satellite.

Back at the Palace, the tractor beam locks onto the object in space. It's the satellite, but Hippo and Eggy arrive behind it in a ship.

Eggplant Wizard: Activating, claws.

Eggy presses a button to activate the ship's claws. Kevin flies the N Team's ship out of a warp, Simon sitting to his right. 

Hippo: It's those N-Twerps!

Eggplant Wizard: Well,they're gonna wish they never been Corn! 

Eggy laughs evilly as he starts shooting corn on the cob from a gun at Kevin and Simon. Kevin breaks off from the corn and flies behind Hippo and Eggy's ship. Simon fills up the back of the ship with corn on the cob. Then they fly back over to Hippo and Eggy. When Eggy tries firing the corn gun again, the corn in the back of their ship pops, flooding their cockpit with popcorn.

Eggplant: No Way!!!

The back of the ship explodes, sending them flying off,causing the 2 henchmen to scream.

Kevin: Call me corny, but, man, do I love this. 

Kevin and Simon retrieve the satellite and head back to the Palace.

Back at the Palace, the N Team is gathered. Gameboy has been removed from the satellite.

Kevin: "Well, wadaya know? Gameboy's a Gameboy.

Simon: What's that supposed to mean?

Kevin: This thing looks like an oversized version of the Gameboy,a handheld gaming system,that i never got the chance to own. 
 
Kevin loads Gameboy's "batteries", and Gameboy is activated.

Gameboy: I am Gameboy! I am Programmed to play games.

The N Team gasps in surprise.

Lana takes Gameboy to the room that she had prepared. Gameboy then drives a remote-controlled car into a wall, destroying it. Gameboy follows a model airplane through a warp. Pit Icarus flies through the warp, after him, and flies right back out. Gameboy flies out of the warp in a full-sized airplane, firing lasers at Pit Icarus. Mega Man, Kevin, and Simon walk into the kitchen, where Gameboy has plugged a blender, a toaster, and another appliance into himself. The toaster spits out a bunch of bread slices, and the blender spits orange liquid onto Mega Man, Kevin, and Simon. Gameboy presses his B button, a warp opens, and Gameboy goes through the warp. Simon, Kevin, and Mega Man follow him through the warp.

They exit the warp and find themselves on Burger Time. All three of them are suddenly wearing food costumes: Kevin's a hot dog, Simon's a scrambled egg, and Mega Man's a pickle. 
 Mega Man: "What kind of world is this?

Kevin: From the looks of these outfits, I'd say Burger Time.

Simon: Oh, yuck! I've got egg on my face.

Mega Man: At least you're not in a pickle.

Gameboy, dressed in an apron and chef's hat, waves at them and starts the game. He presses his Up button and rises up. Kevin presses his own Up button and goes after Gameboy.

Kevin: Okay, hotshot,...let's shake this joint.

Gameboy: Hotshot? Shake? Compliance!

Gameboy takes a shaker and shakes pepper onto Kevin. Gameboy gets away. Kevin sneezes and climbs up a ladder. Kevin gets behind Gameboy, and Simon gets in front of Gameboy. Kevin switches his Zapper to its new Freeze setting and fires at Gameboy's escape route, but ketchup comes out. Gameboy loses his traction and slides across the ketchup. Ketchup hits Simon.

Simon: Oh, no! I've been hit!

Kevin: "Chill out, Belmont! That's just ketchup!

Simon: Mmm, not bad. Got any mustard? 

Gameboy: Request received and carried out!

Gameboy throws a bucket of mustard onto Simon's head. Kevin jumps down, laughs, and removes the bucket from Simon's head. Simon whips at Gameboy, but Gameboy gets out of the way, so Mega Man is caught in the whip instead. Mega Man falls, pulling Simon down with him onto a giant hamburger. The bun falls on top of them. Kevin asks if they're all right. Simon lifts the bun up, replies, and then lowers the bun again.

Kevin: Hey, are you guys all right?

Simon: Yeah. We're in Hamburger Heaven.
 
Back at the Palace of Power, Kevin takes out Gameboy's battery, and Gameboy shuts off.

Kevin: Well, I'm pullin' the plug on this joker until we decide what to do with him.

Simon: I know. Let's lock him up in a closet and throw away the key..

Pit Icarus and Mega Man agree.

Lana: I just don't understand how my father could've been so wrong about Gameboy. I wish I could talk to him.

Kevin: "Oh, no can do, Princess. The warp closed hours ago.

Lana: We have to try, Kevin.

Everyone except Duke leaves. Duke examines Gameboy closer. Duke licks Gameboy's screen, lies down in front of him, closes his eyes, and falls asleep.

On Metroid, Dr. Wiley walks over to Mother Brain with a schematic.

Dr.Wiley: According to this schematic,that your minions ripped from the satellite, Gameboy is the most sophisticated computer ever.

Mother Brain: I must have it! Hippo,Eggplant? go to the Palace of Power and get me Gameboy.
 Dr. Wiley gives the schematic to King Hippo.

Dr. Wiley: You'll need this. Hippo takes the schematic and leaves through a warp with Eggy.

Eggy and Hippo fall out of the warp, arriving in the room in the Palace of Power that Gameboy are Duke are in. The warp closes. Their arrival has woken up Duke, who stands up and growls at them. Eggy and Hippo get to their feet and approach Gameboy. Duke won't let them pass. 

Eggplant Wizard: Stupid mutt!

Eggy throws some dandelions on the floor. Duke sniffs them. The dandelions turn into a giant lion's head. Duke gets scared, turns, and runs out of the room. Hippo loads Gameboy's battery. Gameboy turns on.

Gameboy: Ready for disposal of defective unit.

Eggplant Wizard: Disposal?! No way! Her Ugliness wants to play some games with ya!

Gameboy: I am programmed to play games!

Gameboy, Eggy, and Hippo go through a warp that opens, but Hippo drops the schematic on the floor. The warp closes. Duke comes back into the room. The warp closes. Duke barks. Kevin comes into the room at the sound.

Kevin: Hey! Where's Gameboy? He's gone!

Kevin finds the schematic of Gameboy on the floor.

Kevin: What's this? better show the others.

He leaves to show the others.

On Metroid, Dr. Wiley fiddles with Gameboy's circuitry and hooks him up to a remote control. Gameboy turns on and starts to frown.

Mother Brain: With this thing at my command,I'll take back Videoland. The Universe is mine once again.

Mother Brain laughs evilly. Back at the Palace of Power, Lana is looking at the schematic.

Lana: This looks like Dr. Wiley's work.

Pit Icarus: Then Mother Brain must have Gameboy!

Simon: (nonchalantly) Oh, well, I guess that crisis is over. What's for lunch? Anything but hamburgers.

Lana: Simon! What are you saying?! We've got to get Gameboy back!

Simon: What? And risk my life for a hunk of microchips? No thank you!

Lana: Suit yourself. I'm going to Metroid, and anybody who cares to join me is welcome.

Kevin, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus go with her, leaving Simon at the Palace.

Back on Metroid, Dr. Wiley plugs Gameboy into Mother Brain's defense system. Gameboy's body becomes distorted.

Dr.Wiley: Let me introduce you to..Game Brain!

Game Boy has become the evil Game Brain.

Game Brain: Shall we play a game?

Mother Brain: "Oh, by all means. Now, let's see. What shall we play? Ah,How about (points to a monitor depicting the N-Team)...Destroy Them!?
 
Kevin, Lana, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Duke are going through the "outer levels of Metroid". They hear Mother Brain's laugh. A hologram of MB appears in front of them.

Lana: Mother Brain? What have you done with Gameboy?

Mother Brain: Why,I've improved him. Lemmie introduce you to..Game Brain!

Game Brain,as a hologram,appears. Game Brain creates Rio of his screen and sends them at the good guys. The good guys dodge, and Kevin zaps them.

Mother Brain: I'd advise you to turn back while they still can.

The holograms of herself and Game Brain disappear. One more Rio flies by, and Kevin barely dodges it. Simon comes by and whips it out of existence.

Lana: Simon! I was hoping you'd change your mind?

Simon: well,can't let Captain N have all of the fun.

Kevin: Let's split up,we4'll have a better chance of finding Gameboy. Here,Lana (gives his Zapper to Lana) You'd better take this.

Lana: I hope you know what you are doing,Kevin (takes the zapper) Good luck,everyone.

The five of them go into different tunnels, Duke going with Kevin.

Pit Icarus is flying along, and a monster crawls over to him. He gets out his bow and an arrow and shoots at it, covering it with a net. It shoots at Pit, Pit's wings are covered with sticky stuff, and Kid is suspended in mid-air.

Lana is hopping across platforms over a lake of lava outside. A dragon comes out of the lake and breathes fire at Lana. Lana dodges the fire, loses her balance, draws the Zapper, shoots the dragon out of existence, falls backwards, and manages to grab hold of the platform.

Simon is backed up against a wall. He whips two approaching baddies out of existence. Then the recurring, orange, humanoid, rhino guy (a klayde) warps up out of the floor, charges at Simon, and sticks his spear in the wall, barely missing Simon.

Kevin is sitting on the floor. A dragon (a lydlee,the bastardized version of ridley) is standing in front of him. The Lydlee breathes fire at him, and Kevin uses his Power Pad to get out of the way. The dragon approaches Kevin. Duke bites its tail. The dragon turns and breathes fire at Duke. Duke lets go of its tail, turns, and runs away. The dragon turns back to Kevin and reaches for him. Kevin presses the cross-key on his Power Pad and jumps out of the way. The dragon falls through a wall. A bunch of baddies slither over to Kevin. Kevin tries to jump out of the way using his Power Pad, but the baddies drag him down with their tentacles. Duke turns and runs away. 

In Mother Brain's lair, MB is watching all of this on her mind mirror and is very happy.

Mother Brain: This is going nicely. It's only a matter of time before the N-Team bites the dust.

Suddenly, the door opens, and Duke runs into the lair. He pulls the plugs out of Game Brain.

Mother Brain: No! Stop him! Eggplant, Hippo, grab that stupid mutt! He's pulling the plug on my beautiful plan!

All of the monsters attacking Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Simon, and Kevin are suddenly destroyed.

Back in Mother Brain's lair, Hippo and Eggy chase after Duke. MB picks up Duke with one of her tentacles.

Mother Brain: I'm gonna make you suffer,fleabag!

Game Brain uses a lot of power, causing Metroid to shake. causing panic among Mother Brain's minions.

Dr. Wiley: He's going to overload.

Eggplant Wizard: Abandon Planetoid!

Eggy, Wily, and Hippo abandon Metroid by going into a warp.

Game Brain: Defective performance cannot be tolerated.

The ceiling starts to collapse.

Game Brain: Malfunction! Malfunction! Error! Error! Defective Program! Defective Program!

Suddenly,there's an explosion. Mother Brain lets go of Duke. When the smoke clears, Gameboy is standing there, just fine. He pulls the last plug out of himself and uses the cord to start MB spinning out of the lair.

Gameboy puts his right arm around Duke, and the two of them smile and watch MB leave. The rest of the N Team arrives in time to see this.

That night, at the Palace of Power, an important welcoming ceremony takes place. The N Team and Gameboy are gathered in the Throne room.

Lana: For saving us against Mother Brain. We welcome you to the N-Team,Gameboy.

Kevin pulls a large cap out of his jacket.

Kevin: I had this made especially for you,Gameboy.

He puts it on top of Gameboy. Simon lets Gameboy try out his mirror, pleasantly surprising Lana.

Lana: Why, Simon, how unselfish of you!

Simon: Well,It's all in the family!

Simon puts his left hand on Gameboy's back. Gameboy turns his cap around and everyone starts laughing.
