Category:Mega Man & Bass Classes

About a year after the events of Mega Man 8, the whereabouts of the notorious Dr. Wily were still unknown. Unbeknowst to the world, Wily has constructed a new base to conquer the world from. However, a robot named King seizes the castle and ousts Dr. Wily, believing that robots are stronger than humans. King then steals the CD data of robots created by Dr. Light and Dr. Wily to form a robot army. In response to this, Dr. Wily forms an unlikely alliance with Dr. Light, and Mega Man and Bass quickly set out to stop King and his evil ambitions at the Robot Museum. Once the pair make their way through the museum, they encounter King and Proto Man, with the latter attempting to stop King, but being chopped in half as a result. The heroes then attempt to follow King, but he covers his escape with the Green Devil. The heroes stop the Devil robot and proceed to take out King's army of robots. After defeating all eight Robot Masters, the heroes disable the Crystal Gate protecting King's fortress, and the heroes begin to storm it. After taking out two of King's powerful war machines Mega Man and Bass finally encounter King himself. However, they are no match for his giant shield which absorbs and fires energy back at them. Proto Man appears, shoots King's shield, but is damaged. He then charges up a incredibly powerful shot known as the Big Bang Strike, which overloads and shatters King's shield in two. Afterwards, Proto Man collapses from the energy drain, and King summons a battleaxe to challenge the heroes. He is defeated and questions why they fight for the humans. Mega Man tells King that no species is better than the other, while Bass tells King to not forget that it was humans that created robots. Regardless, King teleports Proto Man out of the room. Afterwards, Mega Man offers to bring King back to Dr. Light's lab for repairs, while Bass says he's leaving, and simply asks King who made him. Either way, King reveals that his body will explode if anyone other than Dr. Wily operates on it, much to the shock of the heroes. Just then, Dr. Wily appears on the screen and asks King why he's not attacking the heroes. King is confused as to why robots fight amongst themselves for the sake of humans. Wily ignores this and increases King's "brainwashing level," turning King purple. He jumps through the wall, revealing his two past war machines, merged together to form a giant robo, with King piloting it. However, King is defeated and returns to normal, telling the heroes to leave before the fortress explodes. The heroes leave, while King laments that he does not have a warp device. He says that to not let other robots suffer his sad fate, and that if he is rebuilt, he could be good friends with Mega Man and Bass. The room explodes and the heroes arrive at Wily's part of the fortress. There, they find the mad doctor in a slightly altered Wily Machine VIII. However, the doctor is defeated, and Mega Man and Bass go their separate ways, with Mega Man returning to Light Labs, expressing sadness at King's apparent demise, however his spirits are lifted when Roll shows him a letter informing him that King is alive and well. Bass on the other hand, is angry that Wily tricked him. Wily claims he wanted to see if King was stronger than Bass, but realizes he was wrong. He then reveals plans for a King II, but Proto Man appears and destroys the plans, with Bass and Proto Man then shortly quarreling amongst themselves.
