Part 1: The meeting

In the year 20XX........

A strange man sat in his chair. His was about 6 feet, 4 inches tall and of medium build. He wore a strange uniform, which was custom made. Part of his legs were robotic. He had a weird face with a menacing black mustache. His jet-black hair was slicked back. His name was Dr. Thaddeus Vonpleck. Doctor Vonpleck was a scientist who developed electronic devices. His recent invention, the QQ3000, made millions for his company. Now he had his own company to run. The name of the company was VONPLECK ELECTRONICS INC.

Thaddeus sat in his high-tech chair contemplating the meaning of life. When suddenly out of the blue he said, " BRIAN!"

"Yes, sir?" Brian replied. (Brian was a short guy and had a high voice and he operated most of the computers in the control room of the VP complex.}

" Brian....... I feel like taking over the world....." the doctor said hesitantly.

"WHAT!!?? Did you say!!!??? Doctor.....?" Brian yelled.

" Prepare everyone..... weíre going to move so I, er......"we" can build a fortress.

"Right away Doctor!" Brian said as he inputted commands into the various devices that were in the room.

Meanwhile.............At an old factory..........

Doctor Albert Wily, sat in his chair. He was very depressed. "DAMN! Why is it when ever I try to take over the world, MEGAMAN defeats me! Well....... But this time blue bomber, defeating me wonít be so easy...... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WORLD CONQUEST!

Later that day.....

A fleet of ships were flying in the stratosphere..... the ships bared the VP symbol.

(inside the interior of Dr. Vonpleckís ship; the GRADIUS.....)

Brian Klutz sat in front of main control array of the Gradius. Instead of doing his job for his "master" Doctor Vonpleck, his was playing "Lloydís Quest 3-D". "Yes! Yes! I got to the secret level!" Brian exclaimed. Suddenly Dr. Vonpleck woke from his slumber in his new CYRO-CHAIR.

"Brian what are you doing?" Dr. Vonpleck asked groggily.

" Oh.....nothing......" Brian replied.

"BRIAN!!!!! Turn off the stupid game and find a landing site!" the evil scientist commanded.

"Yes, Doctor," Brian whined as he searched for a landing site.

MEANWHILE.........

"Dr. Wily!"

"What is it Protoman?" the master of evil replied.

" I have found a landing site!" Protoman replied.

"Excellent! Soon, I will be able to take over the world again! Deploy the Metools and Robot Masters as soon as we touch down!

"WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! PRESENCE OF CARBON BASED LIFE-FORMS ON LANDING SITE," Dr. Wilyís computer sang out in a happy voice.

"What!!??!!" Computer!"

"Yes, Doctor?" the computer asked happily.

"Ready my flying saucer..... Iím going down to investigate," Dr. Wily said nicely

"Yes, oh evil master!" the computer screamed.

A few minutes later..... At Dr. Vonpleckís landing site....

The ships of Doctor Vonpleck have landed and his robots and personnel are beginning to build a fortress. A temporary control center has been set up in the GRADIUS, which has been converted to a shelter, never to fly again.....

The Doctor laid on his bed watching a tape on his television entitled "The Megalomaniacs Video Guide to World Domination" He squealed with glee as he saw on of Doctor Wilyís many fortress explode as he saw a small blue robot run away from them. He laughed and thought "Ha! What a moron!" Suddenly out of blue, the intercom turned on.......

"Doctor! Doctor! Come and look at this!" Brian yelled through the intercom.

"Calm down Brian, Iíll be right there, I have to put on my uniform...." Dr. Vonpleck said as he leaped out of his chair. He was wearing a tank-top and boxers. (This outfit was not exactly that someone who was trying to take over the world would wear in public.)

Seconds later in the control room.....

"Iíve detected an unknown flying craft!" Brian exclaimed.

"Maybe the aliens have come for you at last," Doctor Vonpleck muttered under his breath.

All of a sudden a peculiar whirring noise echoed through the skies.

"What the hell is that?!" the technician who was installing the nuclear reactor on the Dr. Vonpleckís new fortress.

"It has to be the unknown spacecraft!" someone exclaimed.

"Quick! Brian, get me 2 Bleckbots and B.O.B. Iím going to greet, whatever it is out there...." Dr. Vonpleck commanded.

Minutes later at the landing site of the unknown spacecraft......

The craft that had just landed was a gold color and had blue dome. It was small, probably only big enough to sit one human comfortably. It looked very much like a flying saucer from a science-fiction movie from the 50ís. (You know, those cheesy ones, saucers land, aliens blow up stuff, humans eventually stop them in some ridiculous way)

Everyone who part of Dr. Vonpleckís organization stood in awe as the crafts dome slowly opened. Armed guards stood by Doctor Vonpleck, ready to fire if the creature was hostile. Instead of an alien, a strange man stepped out. He wore a white lab coat, and had two large tufts of gray hair sticking out of his head. He had a gray mustache to compliment his hair.

Like Dr. Vonpleck, he looked (and was) very demented. The man walked up to Doctor Vonpleck, and he spoke.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Dr. Albert Wily, mad scientist and psycho extraordianire. Sorry, to say this.... but.. YOU ARE INTRUDING ON MY LAND! You have approximately ten minutes to tell me who you are, and what you are doing here. If you donít cooperate I will call my "creations" to annihilate you!

Doctor Vonpleck gave Wily a strange look as he pulled out a heavily modified remote from his lab coat pocket.

"The count down begins now!"
