I'm assuming we'll be skipping the potential "flashback in a flashback" here since we already know everything?

And thus did Princess Irata press the ultimate Select Switch... -------------------- It's a flimsy pretext, but I'm sure that the N-Team have gotten away with worse.

Maybe this is an opportunity to go over key points so people don't have to re-read 10 years of comics.

Hmm, so even Protoman was worried about the gamemaster working for the Sovereign. I wonder, who else knows about this prophecy or whatever?

Good thinking, V.I.! Looks like Wednesday is going to be Recap Day. ...well, a Recap from Alex's point of view, anyway. So no Drab Lord, Mario, or The Prettiest Girl in Mythrial Town.

Good lord, Protoman seems like the first well-adjusted grown-up we've run into in awhile. So I have no doubt whatsoever that he's secretly plotting to string up Alex and throw him over the wall to get Roll, or something.
And seriously, which princess will we be rescuing? Zelda was like, elected queen, right? ...Maybe it's time for an archive crawl. Again. |

Yes I think this is confirmation that Zelda is the elected queen.
Interesting. Could she be trapped like VP Wiley? -------------------- "The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest And the creatures who crawl, run, and creep. I know you're not thirsty.

And now that I've had a look back at the archives at Alex's meeting with Zelda, turns out the princess that was being discussed (at that point) was Marle, as her pendant could apparently get Alex home.
Also: Alex still has the SNES Mouse, right? Any chance Protoman knows how to make it work? Or is that too much to hope for, maybe. |

I say that the mouse will activate the next time he says "Sweet Christmas, it's stupid fresh!"
In any case, I think he's going to rescue Marle, considering she's currently... well, I suppose we could say she's bricked in. |

Thank goodness we don't have to deal with an attempt at a Queen Amidala sprite.
Alex is sure that they're on the same team now, but something rubs me wrong about Protoman here... not to mention there's Hypocrisy still to be accounted for. But if the question's not rhetorical, does that mean Protoman was worried about a loose-cannon Gamemaster working on the Sovereign's behalf? Or is it something less obvious? |

My guess is that the story (The one Alex is telling Protoman) will go off on a tangent once the Met gets brought up.

If I recall correctly (and it's been a while since I've gone through the archives), Doctor Wiley and Light were both concerned that Alex may be working for (or in the interests) of the Sovereign. That's why they had a giant laser pointed at him for a good portion of the Alex vs. Sinstrals fight. I suspect that Protoman's suspicions come from whatever caused the Doctors to be so wary about Alex. |

It has to do with a prophecy. If I remember right, "If the Gamemaster comes not to save Videoland, he will destroy it."

Theory: Alex's captor really is a proper gamemaster, except he's the one fated to destroy everything.

I don't think that's it; it seems much more likely it refers to the battle with the Sovereign, since the Sovereign's own prediction is that he will bring about her final reunification and the end of everything. We just don't have many good clues to go by about Ryan.

It sounds like Protoman reveals what happened with Mother Brain, and how Dr Wiley both discovered and didn't quite understand Omega Energy. It seems like Protoman represents the illumination that very few people in this comic have been able to give Alex - particularly Bob, Rock, the Sailor Scouts, the Voices in the Desert, Retro Megaman, etc - and Alex seems to be finally sick of it. It would not surprise me if through Alex's reminiscing, he comes to realize what the Mystic Mouse's magic words are.
Incidentally, everyone keeps saying that "Sweet Christmas, that's stupid fresh!" is the Mystic Mouse's code, but outside of multiple non-canon comics and logos, he never really says the phrase in the comic, except the following two times in the first act, and maybe one or so comics after that... http://www.captainsnes.com/2001/10/06/039-...bit-resolution/ http://www.captainsnes.com/2002/05/14/113-...all-that-stuff/ |
