Megaman: I have seen this city a thousand times. Through the glass twenty stories high,
I have watched this city burn. If everything that you said is true,
there is no hope someday they will learn. But if I stay here with you, then I will never know the truth
Do not say this is how it has to be.
But as I walk through the city streets, these frightened people watching me pass;
there is an evil that holds them here, and yet they won't try breaking its grasp.
But if I stay here with you, then I will leave them to their doom
Do not say this is how it has to be.
You do no better than the fools of this burning city.
Dr Light: You have heard me tell this story
Many times before you sleep
No matter how dark
Even now, there's hope for man
Megaman: Even here it is not safe
Even this grave has been defaced
Someone has written on this stone
In some angry hand
Hope rides alone.
Hope rides alone.
Hope rides alone.
[The buildings fly past him now. Megaman rushes towards the east side of the city,
towards the fortress, towards his fate.
The rusting metal loudspeakers mounted at intervals on the side of the stone wall are humming,
chanting now words to settle the stir created by a new hero. Words to quell a potential uprising.
Words to inspire fear.
Words to drive back the idea that freedom is within the grasp of one angry mob headed by one unstoppable leader.
One perfect Machine.]
Megaman: Do not say this is how it has to be You do no better than the fools of this burning city.
And as I live
There is no evil that will stand
I will finish
What was started: The fight of Protoman
Loudspeaker: We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope.
We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope
Human Choir: We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope
We are in control.
[The voices of the men and women carry him forward. Megaman has no fear now that freedom is near.
Standing between the sea of men and Megaman's final purpose is an army of robots, commanded by one leader.
This is not Dr. Wily. Wily has no power on a field of battle. This is Wily's second in command.
His face is shrouded in the shadow of the fortress, his rough features and solid construction obscured by the void of light.
The robots advance.
One by one they will fall. No mercy will be shown. No hesitation. These are machines.
They cannot feel pain. They cannot understand what drives Megaman onward. The rage is lost on these soldiers.
Megaman has his target now. The Commander of this army will fall.
All the wreckage he must wade through to get there is insignificant.]
