- Encounter with Guerilla Contra Guerilla Contra: Ha ha ha! So, the scum have finally arrived. Jaguar: You must be the commander. Bill: One of the Neo Conta elite! Guerilla Contra: Right the first time! Guerilla Contra is my name. As your reward for getting this far, I'll grant you a quick death! After defeating Guerilla Contra: Guerilla Contra: With my last breath, I hail thee, Master Contra! Voice: Status report. Early this morning frontline base 985 was destroyed by an enemy attack. We have confirmed that base commander Guerilla Contra perished in the assault. ???: Hmm... that means the assembly gave the order to send them in. Voice: Orders, sir? ???: Mmm... Let them come... But follow their progress closely. Voice: Affirmative. ???: Hopefully they will prove entertaining. Something to pass the time while the final preparations are completed. Heh heh heh. ---------------------------------- - Encounter with Mystery G and Plant Contra Plant Contra: Well I never! What?! You think you can equal the great Plant Contra? Just who do you think you are? Mystery G: Equal? Hardly. A pansy like you isn't even a decent warm-up! Hah! Plant Contra: Gyaaaaa! Bill: Hmm... What's going on here? Jaguar: It appears one of the four elite has been defeated. Mystery G: You! You're Rizer. Bill Rizer? Bill: Yeah. And you are? Mystery G: Well now... Let's just say Mystery G. Bill: Mystery G... Mystery G: So this is the ultimate soldier Contra. Let's see if you have what it takes to live up to that title. Bill: What!? Mystery G: Bwahahahaha. Let's see what you got! After defeating Mystery G: Mystery G: Interesting. You're not bad. Even so, will he be able to face him? Plant Contra: Oooohh... Mystery G: Huh? Plant Contra: How could I have been so careless? Mystery G: Hrmph! Still twitching? But I'm getting tired of dealing with this weed. Rizer, go ahead uprood it. Bill: Huh? Mystery G: See ya. Jaguar: Hey! Wait a minute! Plant Contra: What? Hey! No! Ahh! Don't ignore me! How dare you?! Listen to me! I don't know who you are, and I don't care! But now you've really made me mad! En garde! Serious mode! Plant flash! After defeating Plant Contra: Jaguar: Incredible. I can't believe he was a plant cyborg. Bill: Yeah. But right now I'm more interested in that Mystery G. What's his angle? ---------------------------------- - Encounter with Pheromone Contra Jaguar: Ah, I guess this one is Pheromone Contra, then. Get ready! Pheromone Contra: Ha ha ha ha, always the tough guy, Billy dear. Bill: Wha-? How do you know about me? Who the hell are you? Pheromone Contra: My, my, what a cold reception. Now don't tell me you've forgotten. Bill: No! It can't be! Lucia?! Jaguar: What? This is the legendary bionoid you fought alongside with? Bill: What do you think you're doing, Lucia? Why are you siding with them? Lucia: Poor Billy, there are some things you're better off not knowing. But don't fear. I'll kill you now, so you'll never have to deal with them. After defeating Pheromone Contra: Lucia: Aaaaah. It... it wasn't... supposed to be. Bill: Lucia? Why? Answer me! Lucia: Erg... You always were tough, Bill... But that will be your undoing. Bill: ...? Lucia: Listen to me. Resist all you want, but you can't hope to win. Not against him. Bill: What are you trying to tell me, Lucia? Lucia: Goodbye... Bill: Lucia. Lucia? Lucia!!! ---------------------------------- - Encounter with Animal Contra Bill: And you are...? Animal Contra: Animal Contra. The captain of this aircraft carrier! Jaguar: So. Another of the four elite. Animal Contra: So thoughtful of you to wander blindly into my trap! Bwahaha! Bill: A trap? Animal Contra: Indeed! This ship is about to self-destruct! You will die, a moth drawn to my flames! HAHAHAHA! Bill: You dog! You're going to sacrifice your own men? Animal Contra: Flutter about all you want! Your time is over... Jaguar: Wait! If you were truly a captain you'd go down with your ship! Bill: We won't let you get away! ---------------------------------- - Encounter with Master Contra ???: He he he... Hah hah hah! Jaguar: Wha-? Master Contra: That was a truly valiant effort! Really, most entertaining. Jaguar: Who are you? Master Contra: Isn't it obvious? I am the supreme commander of Neo Contra. Bill: Commander? You must be... Master Contra. Master Contra: Correct! I'll hand it to you Bill Rizer, you beat my elite four. That's more than I expected... from a fake. Bill: Fake? What the hell are you talking about? Master Contra: Ha! Perhaps this will clear things up. (Master Contra appears) Bill: !! Jaguar: Incredible! He could be your identical twin. Master Contra: Let me introduce myself again. I am Bill Rizer. The real and original one. Bill: Original one? What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm a... clone? Master Contra: Bwahahaha, you catch on quickly! Bill: Shut up! This is nonsense! You're stalling! Master Contra: Oh? Then I'll ask you this. What do you remember from before they put you in cold sleep? How much? Bill: !? Master Contra: You probably remember missions and battles fairly accurately. But beyond that. Any personal memories? Master Contra: Disturbing how little you can recall, isn't it? Bill: But that's... impossible. How? Master Contra: Oh it's possible. Your memories have been pieced together by a military database. Bill: That's...that's crazy! Jaguar: Bill! - Complete with B or lower: Master Contra: You seem to be struggling with the truth. Though it hardly matters now. The time is upon us. The moment to enact my noble mission. Jaguar: What are you planning? Master Contra: Goodbye my little pawns! - Complete with A or higher: Master Contra: Muwahaha! You seem to be struggling with the truth. Though it hardly matters now. The preparations for my noble mission are now complete. I let you proceed so that the assembly wouldn't suspect my real intentions. But now that deception is over. It's time to dispose of you. Bill: Arrggghhhh!! I can't control... my body! Jaguar: Dishonor! I let my guard down! Master Contra: Haha!!The game is over. Die! Mystery G: Not if I can help it! Master Contra: Guwah! Bill: Argh! Who is that? Master Contra: You'll pay for that! Mystery G: Gyaaaah! Master Contra: Annoying vermin. It doesn't matter. It's time to depart. You'll just be part of the debris when I vaporize this planet. Goodbye! Jaguar: Where did he go? Bill: Hang on! Mystery G: Aahh! Don't worry about me. With wounds like these I'm already a goner. More importantly, you've got to get him! Bill: But we can't just-- Mystery G: Listen, Rizer. Don't let his words rattle you. You know who you are, and how you live your life dictates who you are. You're not a fake. If you risk your life fighting for your ideals... you are a true hero. You are Contra. Bill: Just who are you? Mystery G: The same as you. Contra... I was called that. Bill: Hold on! Mystery G: .. Bill: !! ---------------------------------- - Second encounter with Master Contra Bill: We've come to put an end to this! Master Contra: Humph! It's shame you were able to chase me here. Bill: You! What are you planning? Master Contra: To eliminate the need for soldiers. And the possibility of any new threats. And eventually, the complete destruction of all structured society. Bill: What!? Master Contra: In any structured society there are strict morals. However, to annihilate an enemy we must conveniently forget those morals. This hypocracy is deplorable! If we had society's foolish morals, we could never become the ultimate soldiers. Jaguar: You're crazy! Master Contra: Far from it. Our goals don't involve morals, they involve winning wars. That is the reason for our existence. But enough. The time for talk is over! ---------------------------------- - Final battle against Master Contra Bill: What? Jaguar: He was a machine! Master Contra: Heh heh heh Bill: ! Master Contra: You couldn't possibly have defeated me. Bill: What are you? Master Contra: Project C. You and I are products of a project that started 10 years ago. Master Contra: It was a masterplan to stop the many conflicts on this planet. It was the ultimate weapons project. Designed for complete genocide. The model for the project was the legendary ultimate soldier. Bill Rizer. Jaguar: What are you saying? Master Contra: There were two different paths of research in this plan. One was to clone and recreate the legendary ultimate soldier Bill Rizer, you are the result of that path. The other was to take Bill Rizer's consciousness and implant it into a weapon, which resulted in me. Bill: What? But that would mean... Master Contra: Yes. This facility, which has the power to vaporize planets, is all me. Jaguar: Wait, let me think for a moment. That would mean that you're the original Bill Rizer. Master Contra: What is Bill Rizer? It is just a name of a single entity that's been gone for centuries. Bill Rizer is now a symbol. He is the neverending desire for conquest. Aggression incarnate. Power that exceeds all. Pure destruction. And I am the original one! No, I've far surpassed the original, I am the ultimate form of Bill Rizer! Bill: No. You're a joke. You're just a heap of metal with an inflated ego. Master Contra: I don't expect you to understand, so I'll just have to force the issue. When I'm through not a single strand of your DNA will remain!
