LIGHT/WILY/COSSACK STORY MODES
=====================================================================================================================

--------------
-- PROLOGUE --
--------------

Doctors Light and Cossack work together on a new project - an augmented-reality battle simulator that will combine
the advances in network technology with those in robot engineering to form something the world has never seen before.
The prototype version of their project, consisting of a supercomputer attached to a large-scale, holographic battle
stadium, is set to be revealed to the global public during a live-broadcast announcement and demonstration event.

The reveal of the prototype is a huge success bringing in millions of viewers from across the globe. Spectators watch
in awe as our doctors do battle with each other using holographic recreations of fan-favourite robot masters on their
original battlefields.  It's eventually revealed that - once the prototype is complete - new robot master submissions
will be accepted and winners may be integrated into the world.  This triggers an uproar of excitement from many.

Unknown to our doctors, trouble lurks in both the shadows and in the skies.  A disgruntled Dr. Wily attempts to sneak
past security in an effort to sabotage the event, though his attention and that of all the guards is instead caught
by something from above.  A large glowing object reveals itself from the heavens and slowly descends upon the stadium,
casting an ominous shadow over the entire landscape.  Suddenly an intense and blinding flash of light bursts forth
from inside the entity, engulfing everyone and everything in sight...

-- PHASE 01 --
--------------

Chapter #1 (intro battles) [UNIQUE]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Doctors are separated and sent to different areas of the prototype world with only their partner robots. They fight off
minor enemies and secure the area as their temporary home base.  Different forms of Trill appear to each player, testing
their skills in battle and then explaining the rules of Slur's Challenge.  Trill then unlocks new areas for exploration.
-----------------------------------------------------------
[1 : Intro Field] - VS - Met
[2 : Light/Wily/Cossack Field] - VS - Sniper/Skeleton/Crystal Joe
[3 : Prototype Subspace] - VS - Trill Speed/Defense/Attack

Chapter #2 (base fields) [SHARED]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Doctors defeat copies of familiar robot masters on their original battlefields, optionally unlocking their data for use
in battle.  Once all eight robots have been disabled, a resurrected Doc Robot appears to fight the players using special
weapons copied from the fallen robot masters of that chapter.  Doc Robot retreats after being defeated to a new location.
-----------------------------------------------------------
[4 : Base Field] | [5 : Base Field] | [6 : Base Field] | [7 : Base Field] - VS - MM 1/2/4 Robot Masters

Chapter #3 (rival battles) [UNIQUE]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Doctors finally reconnect with each other but are forced to duel before continuing their challenge. The opposing player's
story mode is unlocked upon defeat, or "free mode" in the case of Cossack's fight with Light.  Doctors then make their way
through Hunter Station by defeating the Mega Man Killers and then demand answers from Terra in the Captured Starbase.

-- PHASE 02 --
--------------

Chapter #4 (fusion fields) [SHARED]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slur is impressed by the Doctors' defeat of Terra and decides to increase the difficulty of her challenge.  More robot
masters are resurrected and their battlefields are fused together to create new obstacles for our heroes.  The doctors
defeat their new opponents with great difficulty, but in their efforts discover a mysterious new star-shaped energy
source that boosts elemental powers.  Our doctors eventually reach the Fortified Stronghold where an upgraded version
of Doc Robot can be found with another recreated robot known as King.  They too are defeated much to Slur's surprise.
-----------------------------------------------------------
[20 : Fusion Field] | [22 : Fusion Field] - VS - Random MM 3/5+ Robot Masters
[24 : Fusion Field] | [26 : Fusion Field] - VS - Random MM 3/5+ Robot Masters
[30 : {Fortified Stronghold}] - VS - King & Doc Robot

Chapter #5 (darkness battles) [UNIQUE]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slur is done with games and turns serious, revealing that her mission to destroy our planet will happen regardless of
the outcome of her challenge.  The doctors protest and attempt to engage Slur directly, but she falls back resurrecting
even more powerful opponents to slow our heroes down.  After clearing out the Dark Tower and the Genesis Reactor, the
doctors find Slur in the Elemental Cataclysm with an upgraded version of Terra and two Trill support units.  The battle
is long and our heroes barely make it out alive, but in the end they use their new-found powers to finally defeat Slur
and her army.  The dust settles and the glowing entity above begins to fade back into the clouds.  Crisis averted?

-- PHASE 03 --
--------------

Chapter #6 (stardroid fields) [SHARED]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Blue skies suddenly turn black and the prototype's holographic field overflows the confines of the stadium, engulfing
everything in its path until the entire planet is swallowed.  Once-peaceful cities and environments are converted into
elemental battlefields and powerful alien robots start appearing to wreck havoc across the globe.  Our heroes respond
to the danger and defeat the resurrected Stardroid aliens, eventually taking down their leader Sunstar in battle.

Chapter #7 (final battles) [UNIQUE]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Outraged at the failure of his subordinates, the leader of the Galactic Council appears to finish the job and destroy
our troublesome planet once and for all.  Cosmo Man waits in the Final Destination for our players to make their way
to him, giving his top commanders one more chance to prove their worth.  Unfortunately, each one of them falls at the
hands of our heroes and Cosmo Man is forced to make use of them in other ways.  In the final battle, Cosmo Man pulls
out all the stops and proves to be our heroes' toughest challenge yet.  Is it even possible to defeat him?

-- PHASE 04 --
--------------

Chapter #8 (cache battles) [SHARED]
-----------------------------------------------------------
After all three campaigns have been completed and every other robot master has been unlocked in the game, a new chapter
is revealed.  In this chapter, we find a mysterious program known as Cache and the robot masters it has created.  Cache
appears to have formed spontaneously in the darkest depths of the prototype, combining the data and intelligence of
hundreds of deleted robot masters, support mecha, and fortress bosses into one being.  It is unknown whether or not
Cache is sentient, however, as it's cries cannot be deciphered or understood by any technology known to man.
