Bubblevicious: MegaMan version

Narrator: ...is in need of some serious pest control! (Cut to Buttercup in flight.) And here she comes now!

(She dives on the slug...her hand glowing green as if she is about to fire a laser beam from it...and plunges deep into its body. Zoom in slowly on her, upside down and unconscious in the transparent gelatin. As the camera also turns upside down, she opens her eyes and gathers herself for another assault. She breaks loose...this is seen three times, zooming in each time...and begins pounding on the slug, splattering pink goo everywhere, then grabs it by the tail and slams it back and forth against the ground.)



Professor: (voice over, amplified) Uh, Buttercup...

(She pays no mind, instead hacking her way down through the slug.)



Professor: (voice over, amplified) Now, Buttercup...Okay, stop... (She gets to the ground.) Buttercup...BUTTERCUP!

(She finally stops swinging. Around her, the scene dissolves to an empty white chamber with grid lines on the walls and floor. Pull back to reveal the Professor addressing her through a microphone and watching at a window. In front of him is a control panel. The entire setup is a fighting simulator in the girls' house.)



Professor: Um, I think you got him, honey.

(Cut to behind her; he and the other girls are silhouetted in the window, which has a door next to it.)



Professor: (over intercom) Come back in now. (She leaves the chamber; cut to the control room.)

Buttercup: How was that?

(The Professor flips her a thumbs-up without looking away from the panel.)



Blossom: Well, I thought you went a little too far, like when... (Bubbles pops up.)

Bubbles: Man! Buttercup! You are hard-core! (Cut to the two of them.) There was this part where you were stuck inside the slug, and it was all gross and stuff, and then SPLAT! POW! BAM! You were hitting it, and then you were slamming! And on the ground, the punching and the kicking, and it was all dead and stuff and...

(Through all of this, Buttercup mutters acknowledgment in a bored, irritated tone. Bubbles is cut off by the Professor.)


Professor: Alright, Mega, it's your turn.

MegaMan: Ready!

(MegaMan walks inside the the chamber.)

Professor: OK, now to just set the danger level to 10.

Blossom: Professor, are you sure it's a good idea?

Professor: Don't worry Blossom, he only uses that powerpuff rage when provoked. After that, he's done, he'll calm down. (We we see Blossom and Professor facing the inside of the chamber.) Besides, he wants to test his abilities to see if he won't lose himself to his rage.

(The camera then closes up to MegaMan to the interior of the chamber.)

MegaMan: Mission begin.

(Around him, the Townsville skyline appears, with flames everywhere. He sees flying mechanical jets dropping down bombs. He jumped back from the bombs. As they exploded, the scrapper was about to fall on him, but he grabbed it and threw it at the machines, destroying them When he landed on the ground, he finds himself facing five adversaries at once: A giant man size mech, a mecha Godzilla like giant robot, a robotic version of Gamera, a two headed dragon like robot and a giant silver tank. MegaMan shot his mega buster at them, but they blocked it. The giant monster robots tried to shot MegaMan down, but he dodged all the blast. MegaMan then got smacked by the palm of the Mecha Godzilla lookalike. When MegaMan got back up, the giant man like mech tried to stomp on him, but he dashed from the foot. MegaMn zigzags near the ground, avoiding fists, feet, claws, and blasters, and flies straight toward the mouth of this Gamera like robot. Upon getting close, the giant lizard mecha shot a flame thrower at him. MegaMan screamed in pain from the flames were burning at his skin. When he hit the ground, Blossom looked worried, thinking this might be too much for him.)



Blossom: Professor, we need to get him out of there!

Professor: I think not, for this is the part he's provoked.

(The girls looked back to see MegaMan, rising back up. But the giant lizard like robot grabbed MegaMan and gripped it's hand to squish him, but he struggles at the wedges of the metal hand. As the camera closes up to MegaMan, we now see that he grits his teeth. And when he opened his eyes, his pupils were gone. They were inverted red eyes now. The metal monster's contentment is broken when he smashes he way out through its teeth and does a screaming U-turn to attack it. He dispatches it in short order, finally knocking it back into the skyline behind him; a mushroom cloud rises when it lands. A laser blast from o.c. catches him by surprise and makes him scream in pain; pan and pull back to show the other four giant mechs. The giant man robot is the one that fired the shot with it's blaster, and the Gamera lookalike roars in triumph. Cut to MegaMan, his back to the camera. Close-up of him face as him turns around; he growls with rage burning from the inside. Then in a extreme close up, and screams in fury.)

(MegaMan now goes on the attack against all four giant robots at once, showing no mercy whatsoever. He tears through the giant robot of the lower abdomen. The giant tank tried to shoot it's laser at him, but MegaMan changed to his hyper bomb weapon and threw the bombs at the giant tank. It exploded without a trace. He then activated his gauntlet fist and successfully knocked it's head off. MegaMan then got blasted from a explosion. He forgot there was the giant jet in the sky, so he flew to it and charge his mega buster to a full blast and blasted it's wings out. Before he had a chance he threw the jet at the turtle like robot and giant man like robot. As it connected, it caused an explosion. The battle ends with him flying toward the camera at ground level and the monsters falling in a row behind him. He lands, panting hard, and the camera pulls back slowly. The scene dissolves to the chamber; zoom back in on him.)

(Blossom and Buttercup were awed with both fear and amazement. The Professor had no expression at all. But Bubbles on the other hand only has amazement.)

Bubbles: (silent) Whoa.

Professor: Well, now that we seen how strong he is, Bubbles?

Bubbles: Yeah?

Professor: It's your... (We hear her dash off.) ...turn.

(Cuts to MegaMan that calmed down and with his eyes back to normal. Bubbles then ran inside the danger chamber. Over the Professor's shoulder, we see the chamber through the window. Bubbles is inside.)



Bubbles: Okay! I'm ready!

Professor: Awww, ain't she cute?

(Close-up of the control panel as he punches several buttons.)



MegaMan: (from o.c.) Professor, don't forget to...

(Side view of the panel; she and Buttercup are on either side of the Professor.)



Professor: Don't worry, Mega. I know.

(Close-up of the panel again; he reaches to a knob marked DANGER LEVEL and adjusts it. A readout next to it decreases from its initial value of 9.)



Professor: (from o.c.) Danger level nine is way too much for our little Bubbles.

(He stops at setting 2. Cut to inside the chamber, facing the window.)



Professor: (over intercom) Ready? (Cut to her; he continues o.c.) Here you go!

(Around Bubbles, the chamber dissolves to an ordinary-looking room. She looks around and finds that this is in fact what it is - completely empty except for a door with a welcome mat in front of it. The door creaks open, throwing a shaft of light into the room. A boxy shadow advances into view, and Bubbles snarls and tenses for a fight. The shadow's owner is a 1950s sci-fi robot with arms outstretched.)



Robot: Buzz! I'm gonna get you! Buzz! I'm gonna get you! Buzz! I'm gonna get you! Buzz! I'm gonna get you!

(As it moves toward her, she looks on it with anger and irritation - it is smaller than she is.)



Bubbles: Professor! (flying to window, now a mirror) You turned it down again! I'm just as tough as MegaMan, Blossom and Buttercup! I can handle the rough stuff too!

(Pull back for a moment on the next line; the robot's antennae begin to glow and hum. Back to the window.)



Bubbles: Come on, you guys. Turn it up just this once. I'll show you!

(She trails off into a shriek as a laser beam from behind catches her off guard. The robot has let her have it. Around her, the scene dissolves back to the chamber and the mirror becomes a window again. Bubbles appears char-broiled.)



Professor: (over intercom) You see, Bubbles, you're not ready for the higher levels yet. (She hangs her head.) Oh, don't worry, cheer up. Someday you will be.

Bubbles: It's not fair. (She floats o.c.; we hear the door slam.)

Professor: (over intercom) She's so cute when she's all pouty like that.

MegaMan: (over intercom) Bubbles, as strong as you are, you're also quick to stress easily. I hate to see how you'll turn out if you had my rage.

(Dissolve to the exterior of the house at night. Cut to the bedroom on the next line; the Professor is tucking the girls in.)



Professor: Now I want you girls to go right to sleep. You've had a hard day of training, and you need your rest. Good night.

(He moves o.c., and we hear the snap of a light switch. The room goes dark. Cut back and forth between him, at the door, and the bed.)



Blossom: Professor?

Professor: Yes?

Blossom: Don't forget to leave the hall light on for Bubbles. (Bubbles glares at her.)

Bubbles: Uh, that's okay, Professor. I'm not afraid of the dark anymore.

Professor: (laughing) Oh, Bubbles, you are so precious, acting all brave.

(Bubbles looks at her sisters out of one eye.)



Buttercup: Yeah. Everyone knows you're the scarediest.

Bubbles: Am not!

Professor: All right now. Good night, girls.

(He leaves, pulling the door not quite all the way shut. Pan slowly across the bed from Buttercup to Blossom - they are both asleep - and stop on Bubbles, a ray of light from the hall falling on her. She is wide awake and very angry.)



Bubbles: (thinking) It's not fair! I'm just as tough and strong and mean asButtercup and Blossom, especially stronger than MegaMan, but they just don't believe me. They all treat me like a baby. I'll show them. I'll prove it to MegaMan that he's not the only one to hve a rage mode I'll prove that I can be... (Extreme close-up of her eyes, narrowed in determination.) ...hard-core!

(Fade to black.)

(Snap to the control room with a click; Bubbles' silhouette is in the doorway. She sneaks nearby from MegaMan, as he sleeps. Her hand on the light switch.  Her shadow falls over the control panel and stops at the DANGER LEVEL knob. She reaches into view and begins to turn it, increasing the setting. At level 9, it begins to creak and turn more slowly until the readout shows 10. Extreme close-up of the value as it goes up once more, finally stopping at 11. Cut to inside the chamber, Bubbles facing the camera.)



Bubbles: Mission begin!

(Around her, the Townsville skyline appears, with flames everywhere. She is hit by an unseen assailant and knocked into a wall. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself facing five adversaries at once: a pterodactyl, an octopus, a creature with one horn and arms ending in pincers, a scaly giant with a single eye in its chest, and a large pink monster with bug eyes and octopus tentacles. Bubbles zigzags near the ground, avoiding fists, feet, and claws, and flies straight toward the mouth of this last beast. She wedges herself in its teeth and tries to hold the mouth open, and everyone else's words echo in her head. Zoom in slowly on her.)



Professor: (memory) Ain't she cute?

Buttercup: (memory) Everyone knows you're the scarediest.

Professor: (memory) Not ready for the higher levels.

Blossom: (memory) Leave the hall light on!

MegaMan: (memory) You're also quick to stress. I hate to see how you turn out if you had my rage.

(The monster's jaws snap shut, and it smiles. Its contentment is broken when she smashes her way out through its teeth and does a screaming U-turn to attack it. She dispatches it in short order, finally knocking it back into the skyline behind her; a mushroom cloud rises when it lands. A laser blast from o.c. catches her by surprise and makes her scream in pain; pan and pull back to show the other four monsters. The pterodactyl is the one that fired the shot, and it screeches in triumph. Cut to Bubbles, her back to the camera. Close-up of her face as she turns around; there is a drop of blood at the corner of her mouth. Extreme close-up of this as she wipes it away and screams in fury. The imagine of MegaMan screams with Bubbles.)

(Bubbles now goes on the attack against all four monsters at once, showing no mercy whatsoever. She tears a spike from the pterodactyl's head and throws it as a spear, impaling the creature through the mouth. Eyes and appendages are torn loose or knocked off in rapid succession. The battle ends with her flying toward the camera at ground level and the monsters falling in a row behind her. She lands, panting hard, and the camera pulls back slowly. The scene dissolves to the chamber; zoom back in on her.)



Bubbles: WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?!?!

(Cut to the exterior of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, then pan across the playground. The kids are having recess, and several are sitting in a circle on the grass. The girls and Mega are part of this group.)



Blossom: Let's play duck-duck-goose. I'll be it.

(She begins to fly around the circle. The view shifts to the center of the circle and rotates as she flies.)



Blossom: (from o.c., tapping black kid) Duck... (tapping Buttercup) Duck... (tapping redheaded kid) Duck... (taping Mega) Duck... (tapping Bubbles) Goose! (Pull back over her and the group.) Can't catch me!

(She flies across the playground, with Bubbles in hot pursuit.)



Blossom: (laughing) What's the matter? Am I too fast for cute little Bubbles?

(Bubbles puts on an extra burst of speed and catches Blossom, driving her face into the ground. Mega was surprised to what he saw in Bubbles.)



Bubbles: Ha! I got you! You're out! Gone! Finished! You were beaten down, sister, by CUTE! LITTLE! BUBBLES!!

Blossom: Sheesh! Relax! It's just a game.

(Close-up of the hotline in the classroom as it goes off, then back to the two girls and Mega.)



Bubbles: The hotline! (She rushes in to pick it up and yells into it.) What do you want, Mayor?!

(The Mayor and Ms. Bellum are in the back seat of a car. He has a cell phone. Cut back and forth between these two and Bubbles.)



Mayor: Oh! Uh...uh...

Bubbles: SPIT IT OUT!

Mayor: (shaking) Oh, well, uh, yes, I...

(Out in the street, we see the official limousine; pan slowly right to show it behind a long line of other cars.)



Mayor: (from inside limo, stammering) Well, I'm stuck in the middle of this huge traffic jam, and I'm gonna be late to... (Bubbles again.)

Bubbles: I'M ON IT!

(She slams the receiver down hard enough to break it and takes off. Mega, Blossom and Buttercup fly into view and inspect the smashed phone with some anxiety. Cut to Bubbles in flight, then to the traffic jam. The car at the head of it is being driven by the Talking Dog.)



Talking Dog: Well, I may be able to talk, but I sure as heck can't drive.

(Inside the car, we see Bubbles rip a hole in the roof.)



Talking Dog: Oh, hi, Bubbles. How are youuuuu?! (She yanks him out and begins to beat him in midair.)

Bubbles: Bad dog! Bad dog! BAD DOG!

(She knocks him to the pavement. As she looms over him, he cowers in fear.)



Talking Dog: No, Bubbles! Have mercy!

Bubbles: Mercy is for the weak!

(Cut to Blossom, Buttercup and MegaMan in flight.)



MegaMan: Bubbles! (They pull up behind her.)

Buttercup: Have you lost your mind?

Blossom: This isn't the Bubbles we know!

Bubbles: The Bubbles you know is gone! I'm hard-core now!

Buttercup: But, um, you're going overboard.

Blossom: That's not the hero way.

Bubbles: Forget the hero way! I'm doing it my way. I can handle Townsville myself!

Blossom, Buttercup, MegaMan: What?!

Buttercup: But we're a team!

Blossom: We look out for each other.

MegaMan: We stick through thick and thin.

Bubbles: I don't mean to burst your bubble, losers, but from now on... (flying past them o.c.) ...I fly solo!

(Overhead view of her flying away, with them looking after her in shock.)



Narrator: Whoa! Sister's doin' it for herself! Let's hope she knows what she's doing.

(Cut to a sidewalk that runs along a grassy area. A sign that reads "Please Keep Off the Grass" is visible. A man steps into view; extreme close-up of one shoe descending and crushing a couple of blades. He looks down at his feet with alarm, and Bubbles zooms in on him. A single blow turns his face to pulp.)

(Cut to a second man eating a small package of food. When he finishes, he tosses the wrapper over his shoulder. Camera follows it as it falls in slow motion; we hear Bubbles fly in and land a few punches. The man hits the ground before the wrapper does, and she flies away.)

(Cut to a sign that reads "No Parking Ever"; pull back to show a car parked next to it, with a woman behind the wheel. Bubbles picks the car up and throws it o.c., and a crash is heard.)

(A flash of lightning fills the screen; when it subsides, the camera is pointing at a high-rise. Quickly turn up to the roof amid more lightning. Bubbles is there, with an expression of grim resolve. Behind her, the shadow of Mojo Jojo moves into view with arms reaching out. As the lightning cracks overhead, she whirls to face him. A quick flash of his face, and both are gone.)

(Cut to MegaMan, Blossom and Buttercup, flying through the city.)



Blossom: Bubbles!

Buttercup: Bubbles!

MegaMan: Bubbles!

Blossom: Bubbles! (to Buttercup) Where could she be?

Buttercup: Let's keep looking. (She flies o.c.)

Blossom: Oh, I hope she's okay. (She flies o.c.)

MegaMan: Who knows what's gonna happen to her. (He flies o.c.)

(Another lightning strike. When it clears, we see Bubbles again, her arms and legs clamped down. She struggles against the restraints as the camera pans across a large weapon pointed directly at her.)



Mojo: (from o.c.) Now that we have you, my sweet little Bubbles... (Stop on him at the controls.) ...nothing can stop our plan to take over the world!

Bubbles: What plan?!

Wily:: I'll tell you! Mojo Jojo plana to zap you with our laser, causing you to cry out... (baby talk) just wike a wittle baby... (regular voice) ...which in turn will cause your hero siblings to come flying to your rescue, for which I am well prepared, as you can see.

Mojo: And as for MegaMan, we also planted a super powered raging compressor, for in case his super temper gives us trouble, like it always did!

(Mojo points over his shoulder, and the camera quickly pans to the door of the lair. The floor there is covered with glue, and a cannon points at the door.)



Mojo: (from o.c.) And with you four do-gooders out of the way, no one will be able to stop us! (Back to Bubbles.)

Bubbles: That's the dumbest plan I've ever heard! AND I'M NOT A BABY!

(Pull back to show the control panel; a display reads 2.)



Wily: (from o.c.) Well, we'll see about that!

(He presses a button, activating the laser. Close-up of Bubbles.)



Bubbles: (straining) I'm not...gonna cry, you...dumb doo-doo-brain and old fart! (Note: doo-doo-brain belongs to Mojo and old fart belongs to Wily. (Back to Mojo.)

Mojo: "Doo-doo-brain?!

Wily: "Old fart?! That's it! I've had it with your sassy mouth! I didn't want to do this!

(Close-up of a knob; Wily reaches into view to adjust it.)



Mojo: (from o.c., softly) But then again, Wily, you always did.

(The reading goes up from 2 to 11, and the laser kicks into high gear. Bubbles strains to keep herself from screaming as Mojo and Wily watches excitedly.)



Mojo: Yes! Yes! That's it!

Wily: Cry us a river!

(She finally lets one rip and breaks free, then starts laying into them, doing the work of her siblings as well as her own. When she finishes, pull back slowly from her; Mojo and wily, landing in the foreground, barely conscious. Mojo's cape settles over his body as MegaMan, Blossom and Buttercup smash their way in through the ceiling.)



MegaMan, Blossom, Buttercup: Bubbles!

Bubbles: What?!

MegaMan: We heard you scre... (Surprise registers on him, Blossom and Buttercup's faces.)

MegaMan, Blossom, Buttercup: Whoa!

(They have seen Mojo and Wily crumpled on the floor at the other end of the room.)



Blossom: Wow, Bubbles! I can't believe you defeated Mojo and Wily all by yourself! (Buttercup flies o.c.) You really whooped them!

Buttercup: (from o.c.) And look!

(Cut to her at the control panel; Blossom joins her.)



Buttercup: She took the laser all the way to eleven! (Extreme close-up of the readout.)

Blossom: (from o.c.) Whoa! (pans to MegaMan.)

MegaMan: That's intense!

(They fly up behind Bubbles, who has her arms crossed and a fierce look still on her face.)



Blossom: Man, Bubbles, we really underestimated you.

MegaMan: I was worried you lose yourself like I would, one day.

Buttercup: And you know what?

Bubbles: What?!

MegaMan, Blossom, Buttercup: You're hard-core!

Bubbles: (turning around, softening) Really? (giggling) Aw, shucks. (flying up to them) And guys, I'm sorry for running off.

(Close-up of Mojo, who has just come to.)



Bubbles: (from o.c.) Mojo and Wily would never have gotten me if I had you two to look out for me.

(He pulls a blaster from under his cape and points it into the air during this line. Extreme close-up of a point between MegaMan and the girls; they reach one hand apiece into view, piling them up as if about to break a football huddle.)



Blossom: (from o.c.) Team?

Buttercup: (from o.c.) Team!

Bubbles: (from o.c.) Team!

MegaMan: (from o.c.) Team!

(Pull back quickly. They are hit by a beam - Mojo's blaster - and yell in pain. Smoke rises from Bubbles' pigtails as she turns to face the camera, the "hard-core" look returning to her face. Cut to Mojo, his eyes darting nervously about and finally turning sadly down to the floor. He is plowed off his feet and subjected to another bout of thrashing.)



Bubbles: Why, you...! How dare you zap me and my sisters? Take this! And that! And this! And this! And that!

(The standard end shot comes up.)



Narrator: (laughing) Oh, Bubbles, you're so cute when you're all tough like that! (laughing again) So once again the day is saved—thanks to the Powerpuff Girls and MegaMan!
