## Story

In a world covered by endless water...

People are forced to eke out a living on the small patches of land that remain

above the sea...

The people of this world rely on ancient technology driven by quantum refractors,

a powerful energy source. These refractors lie in ancient ruins underground and

in the sea and are sought out by explorers called "Diggers"...

These brave explorers are the sole source of refractor energy which has become a

cornerstone of the emerging civilizations.

Originally, this was the Diggers' only purpose; to find refractors so that

civilization might endure...

However, over the years, the story of an incredible treasure, the legendary Mother

Lode, began to be whispered among the Diggers....

The Mother Lode... a treasure so great that were it discovered, it would provide so

much power that the world need never fear of running out of energy....

In search of this Mother Lode, Diggers travel from one island to another in their

flying machines ever hoping that they'll find what they seek just over the

horizon...

Hope...

Despair...

Charity...

Greed...

Duty...

Power...

Who can say what truly motivates the Diggers?

Somewhere in the future in a world covered by endless water. The people of this future people live on islands, isolated and far away from each other. The people use ancient technology called “Holon Machinery” that which is powered by quantum refractors. In order to survive, people called Diggers search for refractors and sell them for money as well as to power their flying machines for travel.

Legends tell of an enigmatic treasure called the Mother Lode. It is said that the Mother Lode has many powerful refractors and that, if discovered, it could power the world indefinitely.

Mega Man Volnutt is a digger searching for these quantum refractors and along with his best friend, Roll Caskett, they are in search of the legendary treasure—The Mother Lode.

Mega Man Volnutt, his best friend—Roll Caskett, her grandfather Barrell, and Mega Man’s pet monkey, Data, are currently searching for refractors in scattered islands throughout the ocean when they stumble upon an old ocean tower. Mega Man and Roll begin a dig there and while searching the ruin, Mega Man finds a large blue Refractor, exclaiming it to be a pretty big one this time. After barely escaping a trap of shutting doors that was meant to protect the refractor from intruders, Mega Man makes his way to the exit of the tower only to be stopped by a giant reaverbot called a Hanmaru Doll.

After defeating the Hanmaru Doll, Mega Man takes an elevator to the top of the tower. While Mega Man waits for Roll to show up with the Flutter, suddenly, the Hanmaru Doll reappears. However, Mega Man tells the reaverbot, “See Ya!” and then jumps from the tower, landing safely on the top of the Flutter and they fly away, leaving the Hanmaru Doll to only watch as they disappear into the skies.

 After Mega Man and Roll have a conversation about where they should go next and how they're supposed to find her missing parents, the Flutter starts to have mechanical problems. Mega Man points out that the only island nearby is an island called “Kattelox Island.” Having no other choice, but to land there, Roll steers the Flutter into an emergency crash landing on the island.

The Flutter—now terribly damaged—has crashed in Cardon Forest. While inspecting the Flutter the police arrive to check out what was happening in the forest. After realizing that they were not pirates, The Inspector welcomes them to Kattelox Island and asks one of them to go to the station for details, saying that it won't take long. Barrell decides that he will accompany The Inspector to the station and get things figured out. While Barrell is off with the Inspector, Roll asks Mega Man to look for parts for their ship at the market that The Inspector had mentioned to them before. Mega Man goes to the Apple Market and sees Servbots hiding behind a wall outside, waiting for Tron Bonne near a Drache. He eventually finds the Junk Shop and the woman inside asks him to find her husband, who went to the Underground Ruins to find some parts. Mega Man goes off in search of the missing husband and finds him inside the ruins nearby being attacked by Reaverbot snakes called Mirumiji. Mega Man saves the man and helps him to get back to his wife at the Junk Shop. The Junk Shop owner thanks him and returns to the shop. In the shop, they lament that they don't have the parts he needs, but they give Mega Man the Mine Parts Kit and tell him that he and his partner, Roll, can have their old support car that is broken down outside of the Apple Market.

Outside the market, Roll is taking a look at the broken down car and asks if Mega Man wound up finding some parts for the Flutter. He tells her that they did not have anything that could help them, but that they could have the Support Car and the Mine Parts Kit. Roll, with quite a bit of excitement, hurries Mega Man into the Support Car and develops his first special weapon, the Land Mine weapon.

Soon after, they are greeted by a police officer who has been looking for them and gives to them their Citizen's Card, telling them that some of the gates to other areas are locked due to Air Pirates that are possibly planning to attack the city. Roll tells him that her grandfather, Barrell is inside the city at City Hall and wonders if he will be all right. The officer tells them that if he finds him, he will bring him to a safe place. Still concerned about Barrell, Roll asks Mega Man to see if he can find her grandfather and check up on him. While on the way to City Hall, he notices Jim and his gang near the door to Downtown. Walking quietly behind them, he overhears them talking about a woman that might be a pirate. They leave when they notice Mega Man, however.

In Downtown Kattelox, Mega Man sees Tron Bonne talking to the Servbots about their plan that will soon begin and overhears her ask them if they know what they have to do. Tron notices Mega Man watching her and asks him what he was looking at before she leaves.

Eventually, Mega Man reaches the City Hall and finds Barrell talking to the mayor of the island, Amelia, who happens to be an old friend of his from when he was still a digger himself.

Outside the City Hall, Tron is being chased by a dog name Paprika. Mega Man becomes confused, and wonders to himself what that was all about. He finds Tron in Downtown Kattelox, hanging on to a street light and yelling at the dog to leave her alone. Mega Man talks to the dog calmly and makes Paprika go away after telling it that it can’t treat girl’s that way. Mega Man turns to Tron, who's still hanging on to the street light, asking her if she's all right. Tron slowly drops down from the street light and in that moment develops a crush on him. Blushing, she yells at him to mind his own business and runs away.

Mega Man returns to Roll and at that time the Drache near the market takes off to the City. Roll asked Mega Man if he saw the ship that just flew by, then notices several more of them headed very quickly toward the city. Suddenly they start to hear booming sounds and weapons firing from inside of the city. She realizes they are attacking the city and, worried about Barrell still being inside, she hurries off toward the City Hall by herself. Mega Man, concerned about Roll’s safety, starts to run after her, chasing her through the Apple Market.

 As Roll enters Downtown, some police officers stop her and tell her that she cannot pass through because it is too dangerous. Roll insists that she needs to check on her grandfather and Mega Man tells her that he will take care of it. Mega Man passes by the police officers who are telling him to stop, questioning what could one boy possibly do to stop these pirates from destroying the city.

Mega Man checks the gate to the City Hall, which has been locked. The Servbots, riding in there Blue, Red, and Yellow Blumbear machines are guarding the door. They battle Mega Man with their Blumebears, one of them keeping the key that unlocks the gate as they pass it back and forth between one another. Mega Man eventually defeats them and the Draches and retrieves the key from them.

The Servbots sadly apologize to Tron for failing to stop Mega Man. Tron is not surprised by their failure and angrily tells them that they are going to be punished. She then contemplates who the blue boy she met was and why she’s still thinking about him. She angrily shouts that what happened is his fault and confronts him with her Ferdinand/Feldynaught robot. Mega Man confronts Tron and recognizes her as the girl who was being chased by the dog, Paprika. Tron tells him to shut up as she does not want to hear about it, then tells him to join her, or else she will tell her brother about what he has done to them. Mega Man outright refuses which angers Tron. Tron tells him that he is going down and quickly taunts him by blowing raspberries at him before returning down the hatch of the robot.

Mega Man and Tron and her Feldynaught robot begin to battle and eventually Mega Man destroys the robot, leaving Tron covered in soot. He tries to apologize to her but she ignores him and compliments him by saying that he is pretty good. A Drache lands behind Tron and a Servbot calls to her, telling her to get inside. Tron tells Mega Man that it's not over and then she leaves.

Mega Man enters the City Hall area, where the pirates are attacking the City Hall building, the Bank, the Police Station and some residences that include the mayor’s house. There is a woman who happens to be a news reporter there and she is giving the island the story of how a young boy is defending the city from the pirate’s attack. Mega Man begins to fend off the attack from the Servbots and their flying robots as the news reporter covers the battle that has started and the damage possibly being done to City Hall.

After defeating all of the Servbots machines, another member of the pirates shows up named Bon Bonne. A battle begins in front of the City Hall building against the giant baby-like pirate. Mega Man gets the upper hand on Bon Bonne and destroys everything but his head, which flies off into the distance, leaving his head on the ground completely defeated. A Drache arrives and retrieves Bon.

Meanwhile, at the Gesellschaft, Teisel Bonne is in his room wondering where Tron and Bon are at and notices that it's time for his favorite television show. He then turns the TV on to see the KTOX news station’s news report that the pirate attack on the City Hall has been repelled by a blue boy and that the pirates were completely defeated. In shock and outraged by this information, he questions who the so-called blue boy is and decides to go into action himself.

Back at the City Hall, after Mega Man has finished off the pirates, Roll shows up in the now completed, painted, and remodeled Support Car. She thanks Mega Man because he did stop the pirates and made certain that her grandfather, Barell, was safe. Together they enter the City Hall building to find Barrell and Amelia are alright. Barrell apologize to them for giving them a scare. Amelia orders the Inspector to arrest the pirates and tells Mega Man about the legendary disaster rumored to happen if the pirates find whatever the supposed treasure is in the ruins beneath Kattelox Island. Mega Man learns that every one-hundred years a legendary disaster is suppose to happen that will supposedly wipe out the entire island and all of it's inhabitants.

Mega Man and Roll decide that they will continue to help stop the pirates and prevent their next attack on the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate. Mega Man follows the Inspector to the Clozer Woods to find that he and his men are unable to stop the pirates. Mega Man takes on the challenge himself and fights through the Leopold tanks that are blocking the way to the Ruins of the Clozer Woods. After making his way through the Servbots once again, he finds Teisel Bonne at the Sub-Gate, digging around it with his Marlwolf robot. The defeated Servbots warn Teisel that Mega Man is coming and Teisel orders everyone to stop digging and prepare to attack him.

Mega Man notices the robot and what is happening and Teisel attacks him. Mega Man manages to hit the caterpiller threads, slowing down the Marlwolf and badly damaging the machine. Evantually, he manages to find the robot's weakness, the hatch, and hops behind the Marlwolf across some of the dugout ledges to attack it when opened by a Servbot. Teisel yells at the Servbots to close the hatch, but the Marlwolf takes enough damage to cause a malfunction, leading it to break down and to explode. Teisel is confused with his defeat, standing there mumbling to himself with smoke covering him. The Servbots bring him back up to the Gesellschaft on a lift. He mutters that he will get Mega Man even if it's the last thing he will ever do. Roll then contacts Mega Man through the Walkie Talkie and tells him that Amelia wants to talk to him which prompts him to return to the City Hall once again.

In the Gesellschaft's meeting room, Teisel and his siblings are reunited and discussing what happened and what went wrong. Teisel plans to concentrate all their firepower on Mega Man to defeat him and once he is out of their way it will be much easier to take the island's treasures from the ruins.

Back at the City Hall, Barrell was very pleased that Mega Man was able to stop all of the pirates. Amelia gives Mega Man a Digger's License so that he will now be able to enter the Sub-Gates that were previously locked off from the public of Kattelox island so that he can find parts to repair the Flutter. Mega Man and Roll decide to venture to the south of Cardon Forest and enter the Sub Gate there.

While on their way there, they run into the Bonnes again and have to fight through their robots. Roll uses the Support Car as a shield so that Mega Man will be protected from the pirate’s attacks while he fights through the Leopold tanks guarding the Cardon Forest Sub-Gate. Once they defeat the Servbots again, they run into a wooden gate that is blocking the way to the Sub-Gate. Roll thinks that she should be able to take the wall down with the Support Car and reverses to get a head start at the wall. Driving quickly forward, she breaks through the wooden gate and Mega Man is now able to go inside of the Cardon Forest Sub-Gate.

Mega Man enters the Sub-Gate and once at the bottom of the elevator, he quickly finds a Yellow Refractor. Unfortunately, it's protected by an energy shield that needs three keys to be unlocked. After fighting through the Reaverbots of the ruin, picking up the keys along the way and making his way through some energy walls that were blocking the way to the final key, he returns to the Refractor and unlocks the shield. Mega Man approaches the Yellow Refractor, slowly picks it up and looks around nervously wondering if there could be trap like before. However, unlike the blue Refractor in the Ocean Tower, nothing seems to happen. He curiously states that nothing is happening and then decides to head back up to the surface. He returns to Roll and they are happy with the Refractor they found, but, unfortunately, it's too small to be capable of fixing the Flutter. They wonder where it could be used instead, but they can’t immediately think of anything that it would work with.

Mega Man goes to the boat house in Uptown one day and he meets the owner of the boat house, Wily, and asks for a boat to the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate, but he tells him all the boats were stolen except for one boat that just so happens to be broken. Mega Man talks with some of the workers near the broken boat and they inform him that only a big Refractor could make it work again. Suddenly, an idea comes into Mega Man’s mind and he calls Roll to come and take a look at the boat. She checks the boat, looking inside and immediately starts working on it, trying to fix it, and planning on using it with the Yellow Refractor. Mega Man is somewhat apprehensive about her just going to work on the boat without getting any permission from the owner of the boat house first, though. Wily then arrives and asks them what they are doing. Roll calls out to Mega Man for him to hand her a wrench, popping out from the engine room of the boat. Wily gestures Mega Man to go right ahead, and Mega Man tells Roll that it will be just a second.

 Later after fixing it Roll climbs out and is surprised to see Wily who was watching and apologizes about just going on to fix the boat like that. Wily says to her that he can see that she really likes machines. Roll is somewhat confused, but Mega Man laughs, telling her that her face is completely covered in grease. Wily tells them that it’s alright if they use the boat to get to the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate and then he leaves. Mega Man and Roll hop on the boat ready to head toward the Sub-Gate.

On their way to the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate as they approach the ruin entrance, they are attacked by the Bonnes again. This time the Bonnes are riding in smaller boats attacking Mega Man and Roll with missiles and underwater torpedoes. Mega Man manages to destroy the Such Gerats and Draches, but then Tron, Teisel and Bon emerge from the cave nearby in their newest robot, the Balkon Gerat and begin to attack them. Roll maneuvers the boat around the missiles while Mega Man attempts to attack them, but it winds up being too difficult for their smaller boat to keep up with the relentless attacks from the Bonnes.

Roll asks Mega Man if he would like to retreat for now, and after deciding to continue the fight, Roll comes up with an idea on how they could defeat them. Roll turns the boat around and starts to take off in the opposite direction of the Balkon Great. The Bonnes make fun of them, thinking that they are trying to run away.

Eventually, Roll leads them through a small river and into an enclosed part of the lake, trapping their large robot. Roll says that Mega Man should start attacking the arms and cannons as she circles around the robot, stating that they’re nothing more than a big frog if they can’t shoot at them.

 Mega Man destroys the robot's arms and turrets and then he takes out the beam laser. Teisel, Tron, and Bon escape from the Robot as it explodes and they retreat back to the Gesellschaft again.

Mega Man and Roll finally reach the Sub Gate of Lake Jyun and they decide to begin a dig there in search of another, much larger Refractor that they could hopefully use for the Flutter this time. Once inside of the ruin, Mega Man fights through the Reaverbots guarding the area attempting to find the Starter Keys. He encounters Fire-breathing Horokko and Sharukurusus that can turn invisible. On the way to the Refractor room, he has to fight through several large shark-like Reaverbots that jump out at him from walls of water that line the sides of the ruin walls.

Eventually reaching the bottom of the ruin, he runs into a room with a large yellow object in the center. Roll tells him that there are no readings coming from the strange fixture and to just pretend it isn’t there for now. He finds a really large red Refractor and then unlocks the shield in order to take it back to the surface. Mega Man slowly picks the Red Refractor up and looks around again, finding that, yet again, nothing has happened and no trap seems to have activated from taking the Refractor out of its place.

However, as Mega Man leaves the room and enters the room with the strange fixture in place, it begins to move and transform into an enormous Reaverbot called Garudoriten and once it activates, it attacks Mega Man. Mega Man and Roll eventually figure out it’s weak point, which is hitting it in the head as it jumps around the room. Mega Man is able to weaken the Reaverbot enough to destroy it and then escape the ruin with the Refractor. Roll tells him that she has made an apple pie for him when he returns to the Flutter.

Meanwhile, at The Gesellschaft, the Bonnes are in the Meeting Room and they have already decided to let Mega Man keep whatever treasures he finds in the ruins and intend on waiting for him to open the Main Gates so they can take what is inside there.

Mega Man and Roll return to the Flutter and repair it with the red Refractor they found, they finally have enough quantum Refractor energy to power the Flutter again and Mega Man yells out that it is flying again.

Roll tells Mega Man that he should go and talk to Barrell about the Main Gates and he does. They wonder what might happen if they are to open them and what truth there is about the legendary disaster that is supposed to happen once every one-hundred years on Kattelox Island.

Mega Man and Roll head over to The Clozer Woods Sub-Gate again. This is the same Sub-Gate where Teisel tried to dig to the bottom of before. Mega Man begins the dig inside of the ruin to find many rooms and several different elevators that lead deeper and deeper into the Sub-Gate.

He finds the control room to open the Main Gate but needs some ID cards to activate it, and as it turns out, the elevators are not working either. He fights through the many Reaverbots in the ruin and finds the Generator. He tries to turn it on and it works. the elevators are up and running again and he is able to find two of the needed ID cards.

He finds the last one after getting through a faulty ceiling and taking a very long elevator down to the bottom floor. On the way down the elevator, Roll begins to have a conversation with Mega Man about how mysterious the ruins are, wondering why they exist, what they were originally intended to serve a purpose for, and questioning who actually created them. Mega Man eventually reaches the bottom of the elevator and encounters three large dog or wolf-like Reaverbots known as the Karamuna Bash. They chase him around the room as he fights to destroy each one before they get to him and he slowly beats each of the vicious Reaverbots.

Finally destroying all three large Reaverbots and collecting the final ID card, he returns to the control room and is able to activate the computers and selects the option to initiate the program and the Main Gate finally opens.

Mega Man then returns to the surface and gets back inside of the Flutte. Roll then begins to pilot the Flutter back to the Cardon Forest. While on their way there they are attacked, once again, by the Bonnes who are flying in their large, mansion-like flying ship, the Gesellschaft. Mega Man and Roll try to evade them and get them off of their tail, but unable to escape, they hide in-between the clouds. The Bonnes still manage to chase them down, but Mega Man and Roll now have a plan to defeat them.

Mega Man destroys the remaining Draches that are flying at them from atop the Flutter and as Roll begins to fly around the Gesselschaft, he attacks the Gesellschaft’s numerous turrets and weapons along all sides of the flying ship. Eventually destroying all of the weapons, they turn their attention to the underside of the ship and the wings, intending to damage it to the point that it can no longer fly.

They succeed in their plan, but somehow the Gesselschaft is still able to fly. Teisel orders all turrets to destroy them and from the skull design on the front of the ship, giant green lasers begin to shoot off at Mega Man and the Flutter. Roll eventually figures it out and points to the skull design being the final weak spot of the Gesselschaft. Mega Man starts to fire at it, overpowering the lasers and destroying the Gesellschaft.

The Gesellschaft explodes but the Bonnes just manage to escape on a robot called the Focke-Wulf. Teisel, having hurt his arm during the escape from the Gesellschaft, is unable to pilot the machine. Tron takes over, promising her brother that she will defeat Mega Man.

Tron attacks Mega Man, Roll, and the Flutter, flying around it and shooting rapidly. Mega Man keeps up with the fast-paced Focke Wulf, matching its speed and fending off the projectiles that are coming towards him and manages to finally damage the Focke Wulf enough to destroy it and defeat the Bonnes once and for all.

Tron then apologizes to Teisel because she lost the fight, but Teisel is not upset and accepts the loss to Mega Man. The Bonnes sit down, accepting their defeat, and the Robot dive-bombs toward the ground to their apparent deaths. Mega Man and Roll watch them fall out of the sky from on top from the Flutter as the Focke-Wulf disappears behind the clouds. Roll is saddened and asks Mega Man if he thinks that they were able to escape the Focke-Wulf in time before it exploded. Mega Man, also saddened by this, looks down in remorse, answering that he does not know. They look on wondering if they should have taken it easier on them.

At some point later on, after having reached their destination back in the Cardon Forest again, Mega Man returns to the Flutter. Mega Man decides to talk to Roll so that they can head over to the Main Gate.

Unfortunately for Roll, as soon as he goes inside of her room, he is surprised to find that she is just standing there completely naked. She was apparently changing her clothes.

She doesn’t notice him right away, but then Roll turns around to face Mega Man and to see him standing there completely surprised. Roll is also obviously surprised by this and completely frozen. They stare at each other for a second and then she calls out at him feeling very embarrassed about what is happening and asks him what he it is that he is doing just standing there like that.

Then Roll asks Mega Man to get out of there and Mega Man steps out of her room. Roll tells him to please knock on the door the next time, before entering her room like that and she does not sound upset anymore. Mega Man then apologizes to her for what happened just now, feeling bad about what just happened.

Mega Man talks to Barrell about the Main Gate again, it now having been opened they talk about the possibilities of what it could be about. Mega Man then goes to talk to Roll again so that they can head over to the Main Gate in the Old City. Roll drives Mega Man to the Main Gate in the Support Car and Mega Man finds a cat outside of the Main Gate. He decides that he will take it home with him and starts to collect the cats inside of the Flutter.

Mega Man then enters the Main Gate, and Roll tells him that it seems to be a spiral that just continues to go further and further downward into the ruin. Eventually, Mega Man loses the signal with Roll and she is unable to serve as his spotter as the line keeps breaking up.

Mega Man fights through the Reaverbots on the way through the ruin and finds another control panel. He decides to activate the program on the computer and opens the Gates to something that is apparently called the Sub Cities throughout the city on Kattelox Island. He then returns to the surface and while Roll is driving him through Old City again, he finds a warehouse and enters it through a hidden passage in the Underground Ruins beneath there.

Inside the Warehouse, there is a giant robot standing there. Mega Man was amazed at the robot and notices the Bonne mark on its chest, understanding what that meant. Then he hears Tron talking in the distance which indicated that she, Teisel and Bon had indeed survived the crash unharmed. Tron notices Mega Man who was watching and angrily shouts and asked him what happened telling him that she and her siblings could have died after the Focke-Wulf was destroyed then notices Mega Man smiling at her. He grabs a hold of her hands and shakes her hands telling her that it’s wonderful that she survived, but a Flustered Tron swings her hands away from him and tells him not to touch her like that. Then Teisel steps in, seemingly in the middle of eating and notices Mega Man and asks him what he is doing there. He then calls Tron to activate the robot and she leaves toward him. They activate the robot known as Theodore Bruno and decide that it is now time to finish Mega Man off once and for all in their biggest and strongest machine yet.

They attack him the machine that is loaded with heat-seeking missiles and turrets, but Mega Man is able to out maneuver them. They then start to fire large green lasers from the hands of Theodore Bruno that begin to follow Mega Man around. They destroy pieces of the Old City as they continue to fight and eventually Mega Man is able to find the weak points of the robot and is able to slice the robot down in two pieces. As the robot falls to the ground it explodes and is destroyed by Mega Man.

Tron, Teisel and Bon are sitting on the ground coughing. Teisel gets up and approaches Mega Man to finally ask the Blue boy that has caused so much trouble for them what his name really is. Mega Man replies that his name is Mega Man Volnutt. Teisel compliments the name and accepts this defeat as their final defeat and gives up trying to beat Mega Man. Then he and his siblings leave. Tron is saddened by this as they walk away. Mega Man calls out for them to wait up, but they walk away into the distance.

Mega Man then finds the first Sub City and has to defeat large hippopotamus-like Reaverbots there, and Reaverbots that shoot fireballs and have large control devices that also turn out to be Reaverbots. He defeats them and finds the first key to the three doors of the Main Gate.

He eventually finds the second Sub-City and has to defeat enormous, pink Sharukurusus there, along with more of the hippopotamus-like Reaverbots. He is able to find and defeat every last one of them and decides to take a look around. He finds the second key that is needed to open the three doors of the Main Gate.

When Mega Man finally finds the third and final Sub-City, he encounters inside a large centipede or almost train-like Reaverbot. From the hatch on the back of the Reaverbot it is able to launch out even more Reaverbots to confront Mega Man. He is able to slowly break down the different sections of the train-like Reaverbot and is able to eventually completely destroy it.

He finds the third and final of the three keys to unlock the three doors of the Main Gate and he and Roll decide that it is time to return to the Old City and go back inside of the Main Gate to see what has really been in there for all of this time and find out if the legendary disaster of Kattelox Island is actually the truth or just a legend.

Roll drives Mega Man back to the Main Gate in the Support Car and Mega Man reenters the Main Gate. Unfortunately, by the time Mega Man reaches the three doors toward the bottom of the Main Gate, he has completely lost signal over the spotter line with Roll and is unable to continue to communicate with her down there.

 Mega Man puts the three keys into the control panel and unlocks the three doors with the special keys. When he enters the next room, there is a large map of Kattelox on a digital screen on the wall beside him and some weird fixture at the end of the room.

The strange chamber in front of him begins to open and a floating robot with long pink hair who introduces himself as Mega Man Juno emerges and having been awoken from his slumber to see a very confused Mega Man Volnutt, Juno attempts to explain to him things that he doesn’t quite understand. Mega Man Juno comes to the conclusion that something is wrong with Mega Man’s memories and that he has possibly lost them. After failing to remind Mega Man about his past, he explains that he must reinitialize the Carbons of Kattelox Island. Mega Man, understanding that those words must mean that he is about to wipe out all of the inhabitants of Kattelox Island, confronts Mega Man Juno, telling him that he will not allow him to do that.

Juno, showing no emotion, says that he will indeed wipe out the Carbons and to keep Mega Man from interfering he activates a security trap. Four large poles extend from the ground and shoot electricity at Mega Man which causes him great pain and traps him within the electrical net. Mega Man Juno leaves to begin his plan to start the reinitialization of the Carbons on the island.

At the corner of the room behind the doors. Tron and Teisel overhear this and Tron becomes extremely worried about Mega Man and the Island and tells Teisel to do something about it or Juno will kill everyone on the island. They find Mega Man trapped and Teisel is unsure of how to shut off the machinery. Tron decides to kick it and the trap shuts down, which frees Mega Man by turning the trap off.

Tron checks on Mega Man who was hurt by the trap and asks him if he is all right. Mega Man replies that he is fine and thanks her. Teisel tells him that Juno is getting away and Mega Man decides that he has to chase him before it is too late. He leaves Tron and Teisel behind with Tron calling out to him not to die and mega Man gives her a thumbs up pose and runs off in search of Mega Man Juno who is now even deeper into the Main Gate.

Mega Man makes his way even further down into the Main Gate passing through many large hallways. At some point he comes across a giant multi-colored Refractor called the Rainbow Refractor. Mega Man fights through the remaining Reaverbots and finds Data standing out in front of the door to where Mega Man Juno is. Data tells Mega Man that Juno is waiting for him, mentioning that Mega Man should be able to defeat him, because Mega Man Juno was not built with the intention of combat in mind.

Mega Man passes through the giant doors into the room where Mega Man Juno is and confronts him. Juno then explains to Mega Man what he is about to do to the island of Kattelox. Juno tells him that he has launched a bomb from somewhere in space known as Eden and that once it lands on Kattelox island it will reinitialize the Carbons of Kattelox and reset the population back down to zero. Mega Man watches as Eden slowly flies down and reaches the earth. The inhabitants of Kattelox island look onward to see that the bomb has landed in the middle of downtown Kattelox.

 With very little time remaining, Mega Man knows that he must stop what Mega Man Juno is doing. Juno flies toward Mega Man out of nowhere and begins to fight with him. Juno shoots many rainbow-colored attacks and laser beams at Mega Man. Juno is also able to teleport to anywhere in the room.

Eventually Mega Man is able to overcome Juno’s power and seemingly destroys him. Unfortunately, Juno survives Mega Man’s attack and is now only damaged to the point where he only has his upper torso and head remaining.

Mega Man Juno is impressed with Mega Man’s determination to save the inhabitants of Kattelox Island and flies up to a hole in the wall behind them. After fitting his body through the hole, the wall opens up to reveal what was actually behind it. Mega Man Juno’s head is now attached to a large, gray, and enormous body with a long spine and giant long arms with blades and spikes sticking out of them. Then Mega Man Juno asks Mega Man if he is ready and they begin to fight one more time.

Juno is now able to throw large balls of fire and can swipe along the ground to create multi-directional streaks of explosions and fire to chase Mega Man down with. He also begins to chase Mega Man by jumping around, trying to destroy him with his sheer weight and dangerous spikes.

Mega Man continues to avoid Juno’s many attacks which greatly frustrates Mega Man Juno. Juno eventually releases his ultimate attack with a ring of fire being created around him as he yells out. Throwing his arms continuously to the ground, Mega Man Juno is able to launch rainbows from the sky that crash down around Mega Man. Mega Man is able to outrun the rainbows that are falling down behind him and is eventually able to defeat Mega Man Juno once and for all by destroying his new body.

Mega Man manages to defeat Juno, but his destroyed original body still lays alive on the ground beneath him. He continues to give commands to the mother computer in order to complete the reinitialization. Mega Man points his Mega Buster at him while screaming at him to stop it. Mega Man Juno refuses and only smiles at Mega Man, saying that he will eagerly await his next activation when his backup data is reactivated once again. Mega Man Juno then, finally, self-destructs being completely destroyed.

Mega Man is deeply saddened that he does not know what to do to stop the program. He questions to himself what he should do.

Data suddenly appears and then begins talking to the mother computer identifying himself as Meg Man Trigger the First-Class purifier unit. He tells the computer to cancel the Carbon reinitialization program and to send Eden back up into space. He also tells the mother computer to delete Mega Man Juno’s backup data in order to prevent Mega Man Juno from ever being reactivated again.

The computer performs all of these actions and the reinitialization of the inhabitants of Kattelox Island. Mega Man is surprised by what Data has accomplished and questions him if he knows who he really is and knows about his forgotten past. Data tells him that he can’t tell that to him yet, but soon he would be able to tell him everything.

Suddenly, Roll is able to communicate with Mega Man again through the spotter line and sounds very concerned as she asks Mega Man if he is all right. Mega Man tells her that he is alright and that everything is fine now.

Roll tells him that he scared her and she was very worried about him and Mega Man apologizes that they were unable to communicate. Mega Man then decides that is time to leave the Main Gate and return to the surface of Kattelox Island once more.

Soon after the events in the Main Gate after Mega Man Juno was defeated, it becomes time for Mega Man, Roll, Barrell, and Data to leave Kattelox Island. Mega Man goes to the city to say goodbye to everyone and they thank him for helping them for all of this time and for everything that he has done for them and Kattelox Island.

After saying his goodbyes to everyone, he then returns to Roll, Barrell and Data back at the Flutter which is ready to leave out in the Cardon Forest. They say Goodbye to Amelia who was with them for one last time as she thanks them for everything that they have done for them and everyone gets aboard the Flutter.

While departing from Kattelox Island as the Flutter raises up into the sky and passes through and along the sides of the mountains in the Cardon Forest, Mega Man looks out of the window and notices the people on the island are all standing on the mountains below them and calling out to them, thanking them, and cheering for them as they fly away from the island and they say their goodbyes one more time.

Mega Man calls out to them and waves, giving them one more goodbye before the flutter flies away from Kattelox Island as he shouts out to them, “Goodbye Everybody!”

Roll says to Mega Man that they were all really nice people and that they should come back one day and visit them again to which Mega Man agrees with that.

Mega Man says that next they have to find Roll’s parents and Roll agrees with him. She gets ready to make a big turn with the Flutter and asks Mega Man if he is ready. Mega Man replies that he is ready and she sends the Flutter off into the distant sky in front of them while calling out, “Here we go!”

The Flutter flies off into the sky with the sun setting behind them as they finally fly away from Kattelox island and on their way to their next adventure.

With the Flutter being far away at this point, Teisel watches them from the window of their scrapped together ship and asks Tron if it can go any faster than this. Tron replies to him that it cannot and that is because they built it with the spare parts from the remains of the Gesellschaft and all of the other robots that Mega Man destroyed.

Teisel tells them that with the Rainbow Refractor they got while Mega Man fought against Mega Man Juno, they can recover what they lost and be rich again and he reels off into a very maniacal laughter. Tron sighs, hoping only that the boat won't sink before they get to the next island and back on dry land.

Unknown to Mega Man, Roll, Barrell, Data and everyone on the island that the Bonnes successfully got the treasure, they begin to sail off into the ocean ahead of them, with the Rainbow Refractor having been strapped behind the scrapped together boat attached to an arm.

As they sail away into the ocean, Bon is being pulled along while being attached to a safety float and being pulled through the water. Bon calls out with the only word that he knows being “babu” and the story is to eventually be continued as the final line as the screen turns to all black reads out…

“To be continued…”

## Gameplay

As the game (and the series itself) is in 3D, it plays differently than other *Mega Man* games. Features unique to *Mega Man Legends* include the lack of extra lives (should the player die against an enemy, they are taken to a "Game Over" screen), a shield that reduces damage taken (but will need to be repaired when broken), open-ended gameplay that allows the player to explore places in between missions, buster parts that can be equipped to increase the firepower of the Mega Buster gun, and a lock-on system that allows Mega Man to automatically aim his weapons to the locked-on target.

## Ports

Ports to other consoles were made such as for the Nintendo 64 (as *Mega Man 64*) and for Personal Computers (Windows). The game was also re-released for the PSP in 2005 for Japan. They also have some changes to vending machines and the YAG building in Uptown.

### PC (Windows)

 File:Mmlpc ins.jpg
Released to the United States on July 14, 2001 and in Japan on June 18, 2004. It is available in English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (simplified). Games saved in the PlayStation version of the game can be played in the PC version by extracting the entire contents using a Dexdrive and some editing to get the file itself. More changes on this port include the game running in 640x480 resolution (as well as being able to play in windowed or full-screen mode), the sound files as .wav files (in effect, the music stops and restarts as opposed to looping and the music starts from the beginning whenever the player enters another room) and dollars as currency (as opposed to zenny) are just some of the changes in this port. Additionally, the Chinese version of the game is known to be very buggy.

### Nintendo 64

Like in the PC version it also had some changes like anti-aliasing on textures, the inability to listen to songs in the record shop (as the tracks have been removed to conserve space) and slowdown occurring when there are a lot of objects on screen.

## Trivia

 File:RockmanNEO.png
 File:MIINI.png
* In the Japanese version of the game *Biohazard: Director's Cut* for PlayStation, a demo of *Mega Man Legends* is available on disc 2, which also has a trial version of *Biohazard 2* and a movie of *Breath of Fire III*. In the demo, the game has the temporary title ***Rockman NEO***, and ends after the defeat of Ferdinand. It has several differences compared to the final version, the most notable being that Mega Man and Roll are smaller and the Apple Market has a different appearance.

* The game had some changes to it when localized due to censorship.
	+ For example, Mega Man can harm animals like cats, dogs and birds in the Japanese version
	+ The "Action Man comic with the holographic cover" that Mega Man Volnutt has to get for Jim's gang for their hideout in the Clozer Woods was actually a "Ero comic" in the Japanese version (they forgot to edit the comic's appearance for the N64, however).
	+ Also, interestingly, one particularly dirty moment was left untouched in the localization process: After the Gesellschaft is destroyed, if Mega Man Volnutt tries to enter Roll's room, a cut-scene appears in the first person perspective that has Roll shouting in embarrassment and Mega Man Volnutt looking shocked (it's implied that he walked into her room while she was changing). Afterwards, she tells him to knock next time, and after apologizing, Mega Man Volnutt then thrusts his arm up as if victorious (the arm thrust is removed in the PS version).

* In the Korean game "*Cool Minigame Collection*", the publisher SemiCon, used on load screens the same wallpaper of the pause menu screen of *Mega Man Legends*. The only difference is the gray-scale color scheme.
* The Apple Market theme was remixed slightly and used in the first *Dead Rising* game.
* Juno's battle theme (both phases) is a shortened version of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Little" Fugue in G minor (BWV 578).
* The theme "Flutter vs. Gesellschaft" is used as Mega Man Volnutt's theme in *Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars* and as Tron Bonne's theme in several of her appearances in other games.
* *Mega Man Legends* is one of the few *Mega Man* games in which the player has complete control over the protagonist during the ending sequence. Other *Mega Man* games with lesser examples in which the player very briefly controls the protagonist during the ending sequence include *Mega Man X4* and *Mega Man ZX Advent*.
* The quotes "Mission Start" and "Mission Complete" were referenced in *Street Fighter IV* by *Guile* as both the quotes are his intro and victory quotes respectively.
* *Mega Man Legends* was among the games that were originally intended for the PlayStation Classic, but was ultimately dropped from the final product for unknown reasons.
