Namco × Capcom/Story/S21:Stage

《Busshitsukai: The Third Moon - Entrance》

MegaMan: "Roll, how's it going? How's the Flutter?"
Roll: "It's no good... The impact from the fall has completely wedged it into the gap."
Roll: "I think it could fly if we could just get it out..."
MegaMan: "...Okay. For now, let's try to deal with the Reaverbots around us."
MegaMan: "After that, we need to think about what to do next."
Roll: "Huh? MegaMan... Where did that person go?"
MegaMan: "They said they were going to 'check things out' and went inside through the entrance at the top of the stairs."
MegaMan: "Anyway, we don't know where we are... so we'll guard this place and wait for information from 'that person'..."

(Druk and 4 Solo Mass Produced Models appear)

Roll: "Kya! Wh-who are you!?"
MegaMan: "Damn! An enemy!?"
???: "What...? Children?"
MegaMan: "Who are you...?"
???: "I'm Druk. I'm in charge of defending this 'City of the Third Moon'."
MegaMan: "City of... the Third Moon...? We were digging ruins! And then..."
Druk: "Kid, I don't need an explanation."
MegaMan: "Huh?"
Drack: "Any intruder... for whatever reason, must be eliminated."
Drack: "That's the rule here."
Roll: "No way!"
Druk: "Attack!"
Roll: "MegaMan!"
MegaMan: "It doesn't look like he's going to listen to us."
MegaMan: "...We have no choice but to fight, Roll!"

[Stage Title Card]

10 actions taken

MegaMan: "Roll... The Flutter... It seems we have no choice but to give up."
Roll: "No! The Flutter... we can't leave her here, MegaMan!"
MegaMan: "But... 'that person' isn't coming back either."
MegaMan: "It's dangerous to stay here, Roll."
Roll: "But..."
Druk: "...There's no need to worry."
Druk: "I'll bury that dilapidated ship along with you. There won't be any problem then. Hehehe..."
MegaMan: "I won't let you do that!"
Druk: "How brave. But... this difference in strength is insurmountable."
Druk: "I'm busy. I don't have time for intruders like you..."
???: "Trying to gain an advantage against innocent children with overwhelming numbers..."
???: "That's just like you. Super Criminal... Druk."
MegaMan: "Huh!?"
Druk: "What!? That voice...!"

(Your team appears)

Guy: "How incredibly cowardly...!"
Guy: "We shall come to your aid!"
Roll: "Wh-who are you!?"
Druk: "I heard there were intruders inside... So it was you guys!"
Druk: "The Commando Team...!"
Ginzu: "That's right. ...It seems we have a connection."
Chun-Li: "That monster with the oxygen tank on its back... Didn't we fight it before?"

[Woglinde - Bridge]

Masuyo: "The guy we fought on the Woglinde... he was yellow."
Masuyo: "But he's still a Super Criminal."
Servbot No. 1: "M-Miss Tron! Look over there!"
Tron: "Huh?"
Tron: "...MegaMan!? Isn't that MegaMan Volnutt!?"
Tron: "You're in this world too!?"
MegaMan: "Ah! You're...!"
Roll: "Ah! The Bonne family air pirate... Tron Bonne!"
Roll: "This whole thing, was it your doing!?"
Tron: "You're with them too!? Roll Caskett, you greedy woman!"
Roll: "Hey! Don't say such terrible things!"
Regina: "Judging by their appearance, and that fish-like ship stuck over there... they seem to be your companions."
Tron: "Companions!? Absolutely not!"
Tron: "Who would be friends with people like them..."
Hiromi: "Senior, the data search for MegaMan Volnutt and Roll Caskett is complete."
Hiromi: "They are A-class Digger license holders."
Masuyo: "They seem to be Diggers who were at the ruins."
Roll: "Um, who are you all...?"
Masuyo: "We are from the United Galaxy Space Force, U.G.S.F."

[Baraduke]

Masuyo: "You guys... you were exploring 'that ruin', weren't you?"
MegaMan: "That's right. We were digging around... and then suddenly..."
Tron: "It's the same for us, isn't it?"
Tron: "Honestly... what a nuisance."
Fong Ling: "Digging around...? What do you mean?"
Servbot No. 17: "Digging around means finding treasures from ancient ruins and stuff."
Hsien-Ko: "Treasure hunting, huh? Sounds a little interesting."
Valkyrie: "They are also victims of this incident."
Valkyrie (We must take some kind of action quickly...)
Reiji: "Are you the only ones here?"
Roll: "Um, there's one more person... who went inside through that entrance just now."
MegaMan: "Did you perhaps not see them!?"
Chun-Li: "One more person? No, we didn't see anyone."
Druk: "They're getting carried away if they think they can just do whatever they want!"
Druk: "How long do these intruders plan to keep messing around?!"
Bruce: "Tch, we're in the middle of talking, and this impatient gas-can guy interrupts."
Bruce: "Do you really want us to fight you that badly?"
Taki: "Hmph, I'll fight you even without you asking."
Taki: "I also need to ask about how to get out of here."
Druk: "We have questions too."
Druk: "About your connection to the people who have infiltrated the other blocks!"
Servbot No. 28: "O-other blocks...?"
Regina: "The people who have infiltrated the other blocks, does that mean the people other than us?"
Druk: "Who knows. ...They're these kinds of people.

(2 Mitsurugi (Doppels), 2 Ken (Doppels), and 2 Kurino (Doppels) appear)

MegaMan: "Wh-What, more enemies!?"
Tron: "Ugh! Where were they hiding?!"
Guy: "Wait. These guys..."
??? "..."
Taki: "Mitsurugi!?"
Taki: "No, what? Who are you!?"
??? "..."
Chun-Li: "Ken!? Why are you here!?"
Chun-Li: "Could it be... are you being controlled again!?"
Fong Ling: "Wait, Chun-Li."
Fong Ling: "Something's wrong... or rather, there are two of them!?"
??? "..."
Valkyrie: "K-Kurino? Why are there two of you!?"
Valkyrie: "Did you eat something bad...?"
Xiaomu: "No, eating anything won't make you multiply!"
Hsien-Ko: "You're surprisingly playing the straight man."
Hsien-Ko: "Reiji, is that okay?"
Reiji: "...What do you mean?"
Reiji: "More importantly, what are these guys' true identities?"
Ginzu: "...The Super Criminal Doppel. Such an obvious trick..."
Ginzu: "Everyone, don't be deceived. They are nothing but fakes."
Hiromi: "Super Criminals... does that mean they're from Scumocide?"
Roll: "Scumocide...!?"
Roll: "Scumocide, that criminal organization that was terrorizing the frontier planets for a while!?"
MegaMan: "The Diggers were also victims..."
Tron: "That's right, that Scumocide."
Tron: "MegaMan, aren't you scared? Aren't you terrified? You can ask me for help, you know?"
Servbot No. 17: "Miss Tron... you're evil!"
Bruce: "Don't make any strange deals."
Bruce: "The more people we have, the better."
Valkyrie: "Besides, since they're impersonating Kurino and Mitsurugi, that means they must be somewhere else."
Xiaomu: "If that's the case, let's hurry! Haste makes waste, but let's go full speed ahead!"
Xiaomu: "Come on, let's scatter them! MegaMan and Roll, you two help too!"
MegaMan: "O-Okay!"
MegaMan: "It looks like we won't have to abandon the Flutter, Roll!"
Roll: "Yeah! Let's do our best, MegaMan!"

9 enemies remain

Druk: "Ugh... I didn't expect the intruders to have this much power..."
Ginzu: "At this rate, we'll win in just a few minutes."
Druk: "Grrr..."
Hsien-Ko: "Do you really think it'll go that smoothly?"
Valkyrie: "It's better not to say such ominous things..."

(MegaMan Juno and 3 Gorubesshus appear)

???: "Oh dear... You seem to be having quite a bit of trouble."
Druk: "...!!"
Xiaomu: "Oh dear, from the looks of it... it seems like enemy reinforcements."
Xiaomu: "...Well, life isn't that easy, is it?"
Reiji: "Is this the time to be talking with that smug look on your face? We're the ones who have to fight!"
Reiji: "Are they really enemies!?"
MegaMan: "...!"
MegaMan: "...Y-You are...!"
Tron: "Ah! That smirking face!"
Tron: "MegaMan, wasn't that guy... on Kattleox Island!?"
Roll: "...Huh?"
Servbot No. 1: "You know him too, Miss Tron?"
???: "What is it? You people... This should be the first time we've met, shouldn't it?"
MegaMan: "..."
Reiji: "Who are you...?"
???: "I don't think it would make any sense to introduce myself, but... very well."
???: "I'm Juno. My name is MegaMan Juno."
MegaMan: (MegaMan Juno! I knew it...!)
MegaMan: (But why did he say we were "meeting for the first time"...?)
Roll: "MegaMan? Um... do you know him...?"
Juno: "I apologize."
Juno: "It seems there's a gap in my memory. My memory was completely erased at one point."
Juno: "The reconstruction hasn't caught up yet."
MegaMan: "He was the enemy who was beyond the Main Gate, Roll."
MegaMan: "Yes... an 'enemy'."
Roll: "U-uh, okay... I understand..."
Roll: (MegaMan... he's kind of scary...)
Ginzu: "Did you say 'memory'...?"
Ginzu: "Is this guy a robot after all?"
Chun-Li: "I don't feel any human 'presence' from him."
Chun-Li: "His appearance... doesn't seem human either." Fong Ling: "But, couldn't he be riding in some kind of vehicle?" MegaMan: "He's a robot."
MegaMan: "...A cold robot... without human emotions."
Roll: "MegaMan...?"
Roll: (Is MegaMan hiding something...?)
Valkyrie: "MegaMan. Is he... an enemy we must defeat?"
MegaMan: "...Yes."
MegaMan: "MegaMan Juno... I'm sorry, but I'll have to destroy you again."
Juno: "'Again'?"
Juno: "...I don't know who you are... but I'm not the one who will be processed."
MegaMan: "..."
Juno: (This boy... somewhere... somewhere...?)

(2 Gilly Octies and 2 Shell Octies appear)

Reiji: "Tch! Something else came out?!"
Gilly Octy: "..."
Druk: "Hmm... So, it's them."
Bruce: "Ugh, these guys...! The space creatures that appeared before!?"
Roll: "Ah! The monsters from the ruins we were exploring... not the Reaverbots!"
Taki: "Is that the demon called 'Octy' that Yoritomo and the others were using?"
Juno: "It seems the defense force that was stationed here has come, having heard the commotion."
Juno: "To dispose of you."
Regina: "Stationed here? These monsters?"
Tron: "With this, we've finally confirmed where the Octy we've been fighting came from."
Hiromi: "Meio of 'The Third Moon'...?"
Masuyo: "At this point, we have no choice but to admit it."
Masuyo: "Grandmaster Meio, who possesses the power to even create life..."
Masuyo: "Creating the Octy race... that's just terrible taste."
Guy: "To create those who 'disturb the human world'. We must defeat the one who is the source of all this."
Masuyo (But even so, that doesn't explain the Octy from Moryokai... the ones used by the Yorimoto army.)
Masuyo (In that world... probably...)
Juno: "Since our forces are now fully assembled, let's stop the chatter here."
Juno: (I must deal with these people... and hurry with the memory restoration.)

One of the Doppels defeated

Reiji: "So this is the fake one... the first one, huh?"
Xiaomu: "They're incredibly, completely identical in every way."
Bruce: "Tch, what a bunch of unpleasant guys."

Mitsurugi (Doppel)

Taki: "Hmph, the thought that there are two people in this world who move exactly like that idiotic samurai... it makes me dizzy."

Ken (Doppel)

Chun-Li: "He threw out way too many Shoryukens."
Chun-Li: "...Was the real one like that too, I wonder?"

Kurino (Doppel)

Valkyrie: "I hope this pain... isn't being transmitted to Kurino..."
Xiaomu: "Is that how they work? These guys, I mean?"

Regardless

Ginzu: "Their numbers aren't large, but the Super Criminal Doppel... they're truly troublesome."
Regina: "It's not a very pleasant feeling either."
Masuyo: "In that sense, they're excellent enemies."
Masuyo: "A softie might hesitate to attack them."
Guy: "Indeed. Inflicting psychological damage... it is effective in battle."
Chun-Li: "This isn't the time to be impressed. There are still more of them."
Feng Ling: "That's right. Let's treat them as enemies... and take care of them."
Lei Lei: "Well, if they were fakes like Morrigan, I'd want to beat them to a pulp!"
Hiromi: "...Perhaps the greatest attack is when human relationships are brought to light."

MegaMan Juno's HP falls below 50% or 9 enemies remain

Hiromi: "...Ah! Multiple heat sources are approaching!"
Hiromi: "The location is... in the direction of the entrance we came through!"
Reiji: "The direction we came from? ...Could it be the members we got separated from?"
Regina: "That's a possibility."
Juno: "That's troublesome... Well then..."

(2 Pookas, 2 Mage Pookas, and a Bagann appear)

Pooka: "..."
Xiaomu: "Oh, whoa!?"
Xiaomu: "...Are they ... are they our allies?"
Valkyrie: "I don't recall... well..."
Chun-Li: "There's no need to think about it! They're not allies, they're enemies!"
Druk: "...Those guys again?"
Juno: "Hehehe... Too bad for you."
Juno: "They were our comrades."
Servbot No. 28: "We're getting another reaction! Someone's coming up!"
Taki: "Tch, as expected, we're at a disadvantage in enemy territory...!"

(The elevator arrives, with Taizo Hori aboard)

???: "Tch, I went too far in."
???: "Hey, MegaMan! Roll! Are you alive?!"
Masuyo: "...!" Roll: "Taizo! You're safe!"
Tron: "It seems they're our allies..."
Tron: "...Judging by that drill-like thing he's carrying... is he a Digger?"
Masuyo: "...That's a weapon, Tronny."
Valkyrie: "Do you know that person?"
Masuyo: "Yes, I know him very well."
Masuyo: "The person MegaMan and the others were just talking about, the one who went in first..."
Taizo: "Huh? You... Masuyo?!"
Taizo: "...It's been a long time. I heard you joined the Space Force..."
Taizo: "Heh... You haven't changed much, have you?"
Masuyo: "Neither have you, Taizo."
Hiromi: "...Senpai, that person is...!?"
Masuyo: "That's right. ...He's Taizo Hori."
Masuyo: "'Operation Baraduke'... That battle in the frontier space, the one called 'the worst operation in history'."
Masuyo: "We... the special operations unit that opened a breakthrough to allow the space cavalry to infiltrate the fortress... He's the last survivor."
Roll: "Huh? Taizo... was a military man!?"
MegaMan: "He told us he was just an adventurer..."
Taizo: "..."
Masuyo: "It seems the story about him retiring and becoming a Digger was true."
Masuyo: "Since you didn't contact me at all, I thought you might have died somewhere in some ruins."
Chun-Li: "Something's... different from the usual pattern. Even though they're acquaintances, why is there so much tension?"
Taki: "Hmm. I don't understand the details of their conversation, but... it seems they're having a falling out."
Hiromi: "I-Is that so? ...Senior?"
Masuyo: "I just made a light sarcastic remark about him leaving without permission."
Taizo: "How many people do you think died because of that plan?"
Taizo: "Don't tell me you don't know. ...I'm done with this."
Masuyo: "..."
Bruce: "Well, whatever. It seems they're former colleagues..."
Bruce: "Then this will be quick."
Bruce: "Hey, you! We're on your side! We've come to help!"
Taizo: "What...?"
Hsien-Ko: "...To help...? Is that really true?"
Fong Ling: "It's a common tactic to put the other party at ease."
Fong Ling: "For a donggua like him, he's surprisingly perceptive in these situations."
Taizo: "To help...? Hey Masayo, how did you guys get here?"
Taizo: "We suddenly appeared here from the ruins. Do you know how to get out?"
Xiaomu: "That's what we want to know!"
Xiaomu: "Where do we go to get out of here?!"
Hsien-Ko: "U-Ugh! The reverse psychology backfired!"
Juno: "Oh my, it seems you were acquaintances."
Juno: "A way to get out of here? Don't worry, we'll send you to the same place together."
Reiji: "To hell... is that it?"
Reiji: "Either way, it's a place we'll have to go to again. I'll decline for now."
Guy: "That's right. If you block our path, we won't show any mercy!"
Juno: "How brave. But, it's clear which side has more power, isn't it?"
Regina: "That's true. There are a lot more round ones now."
Tron: "The enemy has this many, and we only got one... The odds aren't in our favor."
Pooka: "..."
Taizo: "This is a bad situation."
Taizo: "That's right. These guys, they were... 'created' in the back of this facility."
Masayo: "These mutants!?"
Taizo: "Yeah. They were floating around in capsules."
Taizo: "...Along with the Octy tribe."
Xiaomu: "Um... C-Capsule monsters...?"
Ginzu: "Capsules...!"
Ginzu: "No! That's not the Grandmaster's power...!"
Ginzu: "It's the monster cultivation technology of the mad scientist who sided with Scumocide... Dr. T.W!"
Druk: "You finally realized it... Commando Team."
Bruce: "There are so many things I don't understand, but it feels dangerous."
Bruce: "Seems like it would be best to retreat quickly."
Fong Ling: "There's also the saying, 'He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.'"
Roll: "But, but..."
Hiromi: "Ah, I see."

[The Flutter]

Hiromi: "We can't just leave this ship here, can we?"
Reiji: "Ah, it might be useful for escaping."
Reiji: "...It seems we have no choice but to fight here."
Masuyo: "Taizo... will you fight alongside me again?"
Masuyo: "This matter... won't end with just what happens here."
Taizo: "...Don't worry about it, Masuyo."
Taizo: "I was also a member of the Frontier Guard... I'll be connected to 'that battle' until the day I die. ...Probably."

Druk defeated

Druk: "Gwaaah!"
Ginzu: "This is where you will die! Prepare yourself!"
Druk: "You guys can't escape from here!"
Druk: "Ninja Commando, this is where you will die! Hahahaha!"

(Druk retreats)

Ginzu: "...That's true. We need to quickly figure out a way to get out of here."
Roll: "About that... I think 'that child' might be useful."
Ginzu: "Huh?"
MegaMan: "The Flutter... That's the airship we were on."
Servbot No. 1: "That's a great idea!"
Tron: "Hmph, compared to the Gesellschaft, it's just a tiny little thing..."
Tron: "Well, I guess it's usable."
Roll: "Hey! Don't talk badly about that ship!"
Roll: "I won't let someone like you ride on it!"
Tron: "Fine! Who even asked you to let me ride on it anyway?!"
MegaMan: "Come on, you two, stop it."
MegaMan: "But, due to the impact of the fall, it's stuck between the walls..."
Taizo: "Heh... We just need to smash through the part of the outer wall that's embedded."
Taizo: "That's my specialty."

If any enemies remain

Taizo: "I can't have anyone interfering with my work."
Taizo: "Let's take care of the remaining enemies."

MegaMan Juno's HP falls below 30%

Juno: "Oh dear... I've been defeated."
Juno: "It seems my combat abilities haven't fully recovered yet."
Juno: "This is quite frustrating."
MegaMan: "You... you're not 'the same you from back then,' are you?"
Juno: "...?"
Reiji: "This guy... isn't he affected at all?"
Reiji: "No, his body is damaged... He shouldn't have any combat ability left..."
Servbot No. 17: "He's probably just enduring it!"
Hiromi: "But you're robots too... Enduring it?"
Taki: "Hmph, a rather well-made automaton."
Taki: "To remain so composed after receiving so much damage..."
Xiaomu: "That attack was quite something. I was expecting a beam from his eyes at any moment..."
Masuyo: "He seems to be made with technology on the level of KOS-MOS."
Masuyo: "Did the Grandmaster create him?"
Juno: "That's incorrect. While restoring memories is his power..."
Juno: "He seems to have taken an interest in the technology that created me."
Juno: "And... it's a give-and-take relationship, I suppose."
Ginzu: "Something that Meio is interested in...?"
Ginzu: "Is it the technology that makes you up?"
Juno: "Well... it's pointless to talk about this any further."
Guy: "A rather eloquent automaton."
Guy: "But...!"
Regina: "Yes, if he's a robot, he'll just go back to normal after being repaired."
Regina: "We should crush his head."
MegaMan: "We can't let Juno escape...!"
MegaMan: "We have to defeat him here...!"
Roll: "Rock, what's wrong? You've been... a little strange lately?"
Valkyrie: "Do you have... some kind of special feelings for him?"
Hsien-Ko: "'Special feelings'... that's the kind of statement that could easily lead to misunderstandings."
Valkyrie: "N-no, I didn't mean..."
Tron: "Enough! The peanut gallery can shut up!"
Tron: "MegaMan, you fought him behind the Main Gate, right?"
Tron: "Did he do something to you then!?"
MegaMan: "..."
Juno: "The way you look at me... being disliked so intensely actually makes me curious."
Juno: "Let's hurry with the memory restoration."
Juno: "Well then, I'll be going now."
MegaMan: "W-wait!"

(Juno returns to his starting position)

Chun-Li: "You can still move like that?!"

(Juno retreats)

Fong Ling: "...You underestimated it. That robot has impressive capabilities."
MegaMan: "Damn...!"
Taizo: "What's wrong, MegaMan?"
Taizo: "That level of intensity...it's not normal, is it?"
MegaMan: "No...it's nothing..."
MegaMan: (He only sees humans as objects to be processed... He's dangerous... We can't leave him alone...)

All enemies defeated

Reiji: "...It seems we've managed to get through this for now."
Roll: "Thank you, everyone..."

[The Flutter]

Roll: "Thanks to you, this child wasn't harmed."
MegaMan: "I was worried for a moment there."
Valkyrie: "I'm glad you're safe."
Valkyrie: "But... it seems it's too early to celebrate your safety."
Guy: "Indeed. The situation hasn't changed."
Guy: "What happens from now on is crucial."
Taki: "I'm also worried about Mitsurugi and the others since we've confirmed they're here."
Reiji: "I wish there was a way to contact them..."
Masuyo: "...At this point, there's no other choice."
Masuyo: "Hiromi, there's a risk of the enemy detecting us, but... send out an SOS on all frequencies."
Hiromi: "Copy."
Bruce: "I see. Hopefully, the others will notice."
Xiaomu: "Hmm. How about we boldly go and search for them ourselves?"
Regina: "That's out of the question."
Regina: "Don't move from your original location as much as possible... That's the basic rule when you're stranded."
Xiaomu: "...Is that so?"
Reiji: "I won't back you up."
Fong Ling: "I don't think it's exactly 'stranded,' but there's also the saying, 'the rescuer becomes the rescued...'"
Hsien-Ko: "Well, well, it'll be alright. Even if we become mummies..."
Hsien-Ko: "Look at me. My skin is surprisingly smooth and shiny."
Chun-Li: "...That's not the point."
Reiji: "Besides, as long as we're sending out a signal, the enemy will come."
Reiji: "If we split up our forces, it will hinder our ability to intercept them."

[The Flutter]

Ginzu: "Hmm. We should attempt to escape on that ship."
Taizo: "Then, let's get to work."
Taizo: "Rock, help me. And you too, the girl in that robot."
MegaMan: "Understood."
Tron: "It can't be helped, I suppose. ...You guys!"
Servbot No. 1: "Yes!" Roll: "Just wait a little longer, Flutter. I'm coming to help you!"
