Hey, Shadow?
Yes?
We've been talking for a while, and....We're going to leave you here.
No! Quick Man's last wish was for me to swear my life to Wily's safety!
Fine by me, you don't know what dangers we can expect.
Just don't get all sappy on me.
Weren't you crying 5 minutes ago?
He was the best rival I could ever have....
Yaaaaaawn....Ugh, I can't remember anything...
Quick Man sacrificed himself for my survival.
What?! But....He was our leader!
Don't get so worked up, you're banged up as it is. Listen, Flash and Metal are back at your place, they'll help you.
Alright, let's head back and find Wily. He can't be TOO far...
There you bumbling idiots are! Where's Quick Man?!
I'm afraid....We have lost him.
Oh, that's....Unfortunate. That's to be expected however.
Alright, let's head inside Wily Castle!
No! All my Mechas are haywire in there! They're tearing everything apart! At this rate, only my secret baseme-Errr nothing will be left!
Then we're done. Blammo. No where to go.
We could go to Light Labs!
Nope, that place is done for.
Guys-
Let's go to Top Man's party pad! He throws great parties!
No! That guy took my identity, remember?!*
Guys, Dr. Light isn't the only-
Gravity Man, we're speaking. Hush up.
Actually, he has a point.
Wait, what did he say, Dr?
As much as he hates me, AND the feeling is mutual.....We have to head to Mikhail's.
Whatever you wish, doctor. I will personally ensure that if he or ANY of his bots lay a hand on you, they will get to experience the darker side of the world....The shadows!
What a coincidence! We were going there anyway to beat up Skull Man, that evil-doer.
Look who's speaking! We work for Dr. Wily, a renowned criminal!
That's different!
Are you sure he's still there?
Have I ever been wrong?
No, you're ne-
Plenty. You thought we were getting a show, you were wrong about that waterfall, or "forest", we always lose battles because of your misjudgments!
Yeah, but I-.....Shut up and go.
Are we still sure he's the bad guy?
For the last time.....THE MAN....WEARS....SKULLS!
Good enough for me.
Ah, it seems my repairs are working!
Thanks, Mr. Cossack! That Ring Man of yours really does hit hard!
Meh. I've seen bigger bangs.
It seems those robots we brought aren't here anymore....We'll head back to Light Labs then....
I must say to you three, thank you for bringing me those supplies!
It's fine, Dr. Cossack. Anything.....To out-do our competition! We'll show SOAKSTGR...
Not to mess with our missions!
Hahaha! Shadow Man, you should've known betraying the Master results in consequences! Anyway, no need to use this reanimated corpse of a body.
Shadow...I'll..Be fine...I've been through worst...Member when you threw...That blade at me?
Quick Man...I suppose you will. *Puts up a smirk, although quite fake* I'm sure...You'll be fine.
Heh...Always so hopeful....Get him for me.
Why so sad, my faithful betrayer? Didn't you want to kill him a minute ago? I guess when you've seen death as much as I have, you can't really feel anything at these sappy scenes...
Anyway...Come at me! Surely you feel saddened at your friend's loss!
You monster! I'll crush you...For Quick Man!
Come, come! That really can't be your best!
(Grr...No matter what I try, it seems he can predict all my movements!)
I haven't had to dirty my hands in 100 years! Usually I just control someone else to do it!
Excuse me, but is that yours? I hope it's yours, or else you don't need it. I'll just keep it there for now.
You cocky...Your bark is worst than that bite of yours!(Too bad I happen to be trapped...
I'm disappointed in you, Shadow. When you own me a favor, you OWN me a favor. Ah, what can I expect from one of his lackeys? He always was so terrible with minions, especially those unruly Stardroids of his...
It'll take a miracle at this point...I'd take anything right now...
Poses!
Turbo!
Stone! Haha!
Sssnake?
Hard....
Crash!!
Woah...
That was...Unexpected. I never liked surprises, nor jokes.
Who ya calling a joke, bub?! Show him that team-spirit!
Wait, brothers! You have no idea who you're fighting!
Now who is it?!
You six, help Shadow Man get out! Shadow Man, take out his link, Heat Man! You're the only one who can stop him before my distraction's up!
Got it!
Shadow Blade!
Who do you think you are, attacking me?! Wait....My link!
Shadow Man! Although the parting hurts.....Go, and protect Wily with your life!
That's your job! Get away and live for the future with us!
Heh....Always so hopeful...I did my part, and it's too late to turn back now....All of you, live for me!
Heh...To think I ever stood a chance against you...
Yes, that was rather foolhardy, wasn't it? Thankfully for you, you won't live long enough to regret it.
So, before I die....Were you ALWAYS planning this?
Alright....Denying a last wish like that would simply be too cruel for my tastes.
It all started hundred of years ago...I, Shadow Man, was the leader of a unit known as the Kuiper Droids.
We faithfully served the Stardroids. Our latest mission was to escort a doomsday weapon, known as Ra Moon, to Earth. Earth was known throughout the galaxy as the blue pearl, and any galactic empire wanted to control it. The only to take action was-
The Stardroids, eh? No wonder we're always under attack by aliens....
Right, right. However, our unit was attacked by the Star Marshals, notably being lead by Duo. He attacked our group with that Evil Energy robot and three other similar robots, and took out everyone EXCEPT me and the Stardroids.
Duo continued to wage war with the Stardroids while Ra Moon and I escaped. While he was fighting, the EER was hot on our tails. However, something miraculous happened. He came up to me, and said the words I'll never forget...
"Do not be afraid, I believe in the same cause as you. Ra Moon is substantial to taking over the pearl, according to my Master. Go and make sure no harm comes to Ra Moon, I'll make up an excuse for my "superior". However, you now own me a favor."
I landed on Earth, and served as your brother for many years. However, recently, an associate of his contacted me. It was time to return the favor, starting with kidnapping perhaps the smartest mind on our world.....Dr. Wily!
What a boring story! Eh, not really fit for a last one. So, I'll hold off on dying until you come up with a better one.
What?! What are you speaking of?! You can't possibly imagine surviving THIS!
By the way, afterimage.
He disappeared...Surely, you are a better robot than I, Quick Man....
Gah!
I have failed...I'm not fit to live...Quick Man, finish me with your blade.
Heh. I may hate you, but you're still my brother. Come back to our side Shadow Man.
What?! You couldn't actually think of recruiting me back...After what I've done!
Families forgive each other. We are no different. Tell me, does this Master care if you live or die? Does he think of you as family?
You...Are you being serious?
I haven't been more serious in my life.
To once again...Be called "Brother"...
I promise you I'll fight with you from now on.
I'm glad to have you back on our side, now how about we find the Doc?
I'm fine with that.
Where could he be an-Look out!
Quick Man!
That's what you get....
Shadow!
I knew you'd be slow, but this is just simply too slow for my tastes!
And I knew you'd be weak, but this is too weak for my tastes!
You're really starting to get on my nerves!
Stop with the taunts and give up!
Charging at me with the same moves? Pathetic!
He...He disappeared! He's not a skilled ninja, he can't disappear from thin air like that!
Not disappeared, you numb-skull!
I'm just moving so fast....To the point your electronic brain can't even catch up!
Not too shabby, if I say so myself! Nice little after-image technique I got, eh?
Nice, nice! You've actually managed to surprise me! Show me some more!
If you say so! I'll knock the blade off your cocky face!
Which after-image is the real thing?!
Hmph! I'll have to hit ONE of you eventually! Duplicate!
Found you! As for my next trick!
I'm twice as strong now, which means twice the tricks!
Come on Shadow Man! Easy-peasy! Show me your REAL moves! None of this stage changing crap!
And the victory.....Goes to Shadow Man. Now, as for you, destiny has not been so kind.
damn you! How could you betray Wily and your brothers like this?! Don't you have any sense?!
That's all in the past. Trust me, I've been given a new sense to see the world in a...Different way. Of course, I've always seen it that way, "brother."
Wait....That last part....You've never been on our side on the first place! I thought you were one of us, you wanted to change that alien origin of yours! Shadow Man, please listen!
Your pleas....Fall on deaf ears.
So, what exactly do you plan to do with me anyway? After all, you two simpletons couldn't even stop Mega Man, let alone-
Wily, you're lucky I still have some sort of respect for you. If not, you'd be laying in a ditch somewhere.
Shadow Man! Shut up with all that racket and continue the mission!
Don't forget, you overgrown lighter, it is I that commands you! After all, I'm the only one with previous ties to our savior.
Whatever.....Sir.
Why you, how could you two do this?! Heat Man, you can't really go through with this! You were one of my firsts! I promise you, my other robots will take care of you!
First off, we're LEAGUES above those DOS-using slow-pokes! Second, they're ALL busy with that Top-Clone!
Hoho...Not all of them...
Even then, only Bass could provide a chance!
Great! A response....WAHAHAAHHAHAHA!
Great ghosts of Ford, you sent out a distress signal?! Shadow Man, be prepared!
Don't worry, my kunai can keep any fools away. It's right he-IT'S NOT THERE?! It was there a minute ago! No robot could possibly sneak past me!
Hoho..That's where you're wrong. I had a trump card with me all this time!
Come out with your hands out! Don't try anything, cause we can catch you if you move an INCH.
Catch me? Maybe in your dreams!
No...It can't be!
I tried to come as fast as I could, doc...I hope I wasn't late!
My old rival....Quick Man.
You recognize me, old buddy! Don't worry, my chest healed....AFTER you decided to throw your little fun Shadow Blade at me.
Maybe I should've kept it there, since you were too stuck to Wily's orders and not Ra Moon!
Please, that thing was ancient! You of all people should how to move forward. Or at least sneak your way there. Savoir faire, my friend.
Hmm....I'll stick with staying in the shadows....Maybe you lost to Mega Man because you decided to light everything up with all those lasers?
I only lost because Mega Man just had to take Flash's weapon before he fought me!
Right now, I don't have Flash's weapon....So when you lose to me, you'll have no excuses for why you lost.
Come at me, you overgrown pretender in pajamas!
Ditto, you ungraceful ronin!
I think I'm going to run away now....
That does it for both of those slow-pokes!
Ah ah, you cannot "catch" a Shadow.
That duplicate trick, eh? Even I didn't see that one.
With my increased understanding and power, also comes with new AND improved tricks!
None of those things mean anything if you can't touch me!
Put the boomerang where your mouth is and show me claims to those bluffs! Fight me, you out-dated calculator!
Heh, I guess some ninjas just can't handle the truth....Nor the speed! Let's go, you traitorous UFO Ninja...Thing!
