Roll VS. Gravityman? IT CAN BE DONE!

Specifically, I had a dream where I "remade" the episode of "Campus Commandos" (while searching for it online--huh?). Here's how it went: Dr. Light and his robot pals (Protoman was among them...) were helping out at this high school that taught both humans and robots. [Yeah, people bashed that ep. for its "robots in college" theme, but look: wouldn't some robots want to learn things progressively and thus be a little more humanlike? It makes perfect sense then.] Things are all fine and dandy until Wily somehow activates a loud noise through the speakers (Mega, Roll, and Proto happened to be in the cafeteria--Mega was outside and speaking to them through a window. I don't get it either.) which somehow hypnotizes the robotic students. And it goes outside too--one student punches Mega's head right through the glass of a window looking into the cafeteria. Mega takes care of the students and calls for Dr. Light to fix whatever's wrong with them, and meets back up with Roll and Proto to track down Wily. Of course, they also have to deal with the students, but that's per standard.

Earlier, Mega and Rush had been flying over the campus when Rush suddenly spiraled downward, bucking Mega off and having him land right on his face. Ouch. After eloquently asking Rush what was up ("What the hell was THAT for?"), Mega got back on his feet to see who Rush was growling at----some Australian dude. But ah, while Mega was only slightly suspicious (and not for ethnic reasons), little did he know that this greasy-haired Blow Joe that Rush sniffed out was really Tenguman!

I think he should have an Australian accent. His game voice is just UGH.

After much running throughout the school and coming up with nothing, Mega, Rush and Roll have a fateful run-in with the Robot Master with the nose of doom. Tenguman simply laughs this off and announces that Wily is gonna bring this town down, and flies off before he can be shot/vacuumed/crapped on (by Rush, you freaks).

Wily is onboard the Skullker or whatever aircraft he was using in "CC", along with Cutman, Gutsman, Topman, and Gravityman. He's gloating about how soon he'll have this whole town bowing down to his demands, but first has to take care of Megaman--which he assumes won't be too difficult. And lo, whilst Mega and Proto DO eventually find Wily [hey, he didn't hover his craft over the school until just then--and it wasn't broad daylight], Mega is swiftly taken out by the combined force of Top and Gravity--Top spins into him and knocks him to the ground, and then Gravityman uses his physics-defying gravity powerz to send Mega flying straight into the ground. Ow.

Protoman is naturally quite upset over this, and is about to jump on Rush Jet to fly down and assist him when Tenguman blocks his way. It's only until after Tengu starts gabbing does Rush confirm his suspicions about that Australian dude from earlier. Well, too bad Rush, you're saving nobody--Tengu grabs Protoman by his head and drags him to one of the walls of the psuedo-Skullker, and attempts to wall-bash him. Proto tries to prevent this by pushing against the wall, but Tengu simply yanks him away and smashes Proto's head into the wall, demolishing it (the wall). Smirking, Tengu throws Protoman out the open door of the psuedo-Skullker where he can join his brother on the ground.

So what IS Wily's grand plan? The school is near a town with high influences in City Hall (don't ask), and since Wily had to pass it anyway to get close enough to carry out said plan without being seen, he figured he'd take out Mega and his brother in the process. However, in true "Mega Shows" fashion, he makes one fatal muck-up--he doesn't send Tengu after Rush. The little red dog escaped unseen, and has ran off to fetch Dr. Light and Roll. Look, trying to carry both Megaman AND Protoman would squish him, alright?

The good doc, Roll, the headmaster, and several students who either weren't hypnotized by the intercom or were fixed (Dr. Light: fastest wrench in the West) follow Rush outside only to find Wily gone and Mega and Proto still lying facedown in the dirt. Dr. Light states that both robots have recieved heavy damage (SUCH is the power of the Robot Masters) and it'll be too late to stop Wily after they've been fully repaired. Things are looking grim, until Roll bravely leaps on top of Rush and jets off to follow the bad Doc.

[At this point I woke up, so everything beyond the stuff in brackets is improvised.]

Luckily for Roll, Wily hasn't yet unleashed the might of Gravityman on the town, so she's got enough time to lay the smackdown on Wily's bots. Cutman is taken care of with a supercharged heater, and Gutsman is hit with a door. Topman is not quite so easy, getting in a hit on Roll before she whips out her egg whisk and switches it on. See, the egg whisk blade is spinning in the opposite direction that Topman is spinning in. When the two forces collide, Roll's appliance gets somewhat messed up whilst Topman gets his head twisted 360 degrees. Remember, kids: Toppy is a robot. You're not.

Now to face off with Tenguman. He gives Roll a few Australian-accented words of discouragement before deploying his Tengu Blade. [Keep in mind that they're still in the psuedo-Skullker.] Roll switches out her damaged egg whisk in favour of something sharper--say, an oversized kitchen knife--and the two robots initiate their swordfight. Er, bladefight. Tenguman cheats by lifitng Roll high into the air with the intention of throwing her out of the psuedo-Skullker just like her brothers, but she slashes at his neck with her kitchen knife (what mutant lettuce did Light intend for Roll to chop up, anyway?), thus putting him out of commission. Rush celebrates. That's four down, and one more to go.

Suddenly the whole ship begins to rock, as if being dragged down to the Earth by a java addict's unseen hand. Wily laughs insanely; whilst Roll trashed the Robot Masters, Gravityman made his way down to the ground and has now unleased his POWERZ unto the unsuspecting town. Gravity has been quadrupled and everything, whether it's nailed down or not, is slowly being crushed by the sheer force of the physics-bending Robot Master. Wily anounces on the megaphone that, unless the town agrees to move him to high status within City Hall, Gravityman will turn them all into dirt pizza. Sounds like Wily's gonna win, eh?

Not so fast! Gravityman is about to TURN UP THA HEAT when something hits him in the head. Roll just beaned him with ultra-powered burnt toast, distracting him--and he's accidentally released his death grip on the still-unnamed town! Roll flies down on Rush Jet to confront Gravityman.

Gravity isn't too happy, and immediately begins a fistfight with Roll. Neither side seems to be gaining the upper hand, but like Tengu, Gravity fights dirty, and uses his gravity beam to send Roll flying--into a tree. She doesn't move, and Gravity sets back to torturing the town.

But she isn't out. Roll slowly gets back up, and once she's steady she charges Gravity again, knocking out his control for a second time. At this point the people in said town start to flee (it's not really a town, it's more of a village--no stores. Why do I keep saying "town"?). Roll and Gravity fight some more, whilst Roll tries to think of a way to stop him.

The straightforward solution for Mega or Proto would be to copy Gravityman's weapon and use it on him, but Roll's Utility Arm is incapable of mimicking other weapons (though really, she doesn't have to. She's a walking Swiss Army Knife), and to top it off, she doesn't have a single physics-defying utility on her. So the only solution? Rip out whatever allows Gravity to laugh in the face of Isaac Newton.

That would be the yellow orb-thing on his back. Thinking quickly, Roll splashes some pepper into Gravityman's face, then whilst he writhes in agony, runs around him and smashes his back orb with her fist. Case closed, right?

WRONG--Gravityman's just angrier than ever now. He catches Roll and starts pounding her for blinding him, until Roll slides out from under him and curb-stomps Gravityman. They fight for a little more, until Wily declares that enough is enough and drags Gravity back onto the psuedo-Skullker and they fly away--Wily's way of saying "we buggered up".

Dr. Light happens to catch up to Roll just as the psuedo-Skullker flies out of sight. Knowing that Wily never repeats a plan, he congratulates her (and Rush too. How else would she make it onboard?), and says that after they take care of damages to both the students and the town, they'll tell her brothers about this. Roll just wipes some blood out of her eye and says she's glad she's not Gravityman. Credits.

Obvious problems:

*THE COMMENT IS TOO FUCKING LONG.
*In my dream, Rush tracked down "Vincent" (Tenguman) in a cave. This doesn't work; the school would have had said cave (making it a wide hole in the ground) blocked off or more likely sealed up. Schools have a habit of banning everything potentially "dangerous", such as asthma medicine, plastic knives, questioning authority, and Arnold Schwarzenegger---and those we cannot live without.
*Really, how would that little village have influences in City Hall? Unless the head of said Hall lived there...
*This is nothing like what happened in the actual "Campus Commandos"; notice that I made no reference to those four robot students that didn't get brainwashed.

On the other had, dA is far better for putting up detailed explanations than Atomic Fire.
