I'M BREAKING OUT OF HERE TONIGHT.

Look up at the sky, you can't see the stars. They've been gone for ages.

THIS CITY NEVER STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT.

But I know that I failed, and the city it fell, All the strength in my hands couldn't hold back the swell.

THIS CITY NEEDS YOU NOW.

AND THERE ARE EMBERS OF A FIRE THAT'S GONE OUT, BUT I CAN STILL FEEL THE HEAT ON MY SKIN, AND THIS MESS WE'RE IN--

And with these hands that will not bleed: MY FATHER'S BATTLE WILL BE WON.

(Pieces of machine from the floor were seized and fused. They began to take form - the form of Light's anger, the form of his guilt, the form of his grief, the form of his love, The form of a son.)

If you can hear me sending out this message tonight, Then break the silence, send a signal back.

AND IN THE END, YOU'LL SEE THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY.

SEND YOUR ARMIES.

WON'T YOU OPEN YOUR EYES? SEE THE FIRE RAINING DOWN: CAN'T YOU HEAR THEM CALLING OUT?

But it won't be for nothing, HE LEFT US A WAY OUT.

THIS CANNOT BE THE ONLY WAY.

HE COULD NEVER CAGE THE WORLD. IT'S TOO BIG FOR ANYONE.

Have you ever looked back at the wreckage we've caused? Every move that we made, someone else paid the cost.

THESE ARE THE PATHS THAT WE MUST TAKE. BECAUSE YOU AND I, TOM, WE ARE MEN, AND WE CAN BEND, AND WE CAN BREAK.

WE KEEP YOU SAFE.

(The slight breeze against his forehead meant that something was changing. He raised his voice, crying out against the quiet, constant hum of the city. From the windows high above the streets, a few concerned women called out to him to keep his voice down. For his own sake.)

(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.)

I NEVER SAID THAT MEN SHOULD BOW; I NEVER SAID THAT MEN SHOULD BREAK.

You and I.

I'VE GOT THIS BURNING LIKE MY VEINS ARE FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT GASOLINE.

I'm not a fool.

'Cause now I know what it means- Oh, I can feel that distance between.

(There was the hatred again, the rage, welling inside of him. No more, he thought, as he tore down the tools and parts that framed his apartment workshop. Never again.)

I MADE A PROMISE TO YOU...

(The slight breeze against his forehead meant that something was changing.)

YOU FORGET WHO TURNED THIS CITY ON, YOU FORGET WHO PLUGGED THIS CITY IN!

I WON'T RUN FROM THIS FIGHT.

AND YOU WILL FIGHT.

Through the glass twenty stories high, I have watched this city burn.

I WILL NOT BE THE FATHER OF DEATH

(There must be an end to the darkness...)

The needle buried in the red, and soon I head the engine whine- Everything's Fine.

But why should we SAVE them, When they stand for NOTHING?

MAYBE YOU AND I WE CAN STILL MAKE IT RIGHT. MAYBE WE CAN BRING BACK THE LIGHT.

I try to tell myself that I don't think about it. I can close my eyes without seeing your face. But it's all just a lie, 'cause I know I'd walk through the fire to pull you out of the flame.

Something's gotta change.

Flip a switch and turn it off.

If you replace the working parts, You get a different machine.

There's a storm blowing in, now, And the heavens will open, When the blood washes over me, GOD I HOPE IT CAN WASH THIS BLOOD FROM MY HANDS.

You are not evil. (if they will stand) You are not broken. (beside their hero,) WE BOTH KNOW THEY'LL NEVER FIGHT.

TELL ME, MAN, IS THERE NOT ONE IN ALL YOUR RANKS? IS THERE NOT ONE WHO VALUES COURAGE OVER LIFE?

(AT THE HEART OF THE CITY) At the heart of the city there's a building that looks down over all there is. (AND THE MAN IN THE TOWER CONTROLS IT ALL) And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist.

(1 minute, 46 seconds until the broadcast would begin.)

(No man saw the blow. The light was blinding.)

He could never cage the world. It's too big for anyone.

(And even now my heart is heavy with dread. I fear I've built a great and powerful evil. Or rather, together, Albert and I have built it...)

You need to know.
