Diamond Journals Issue 1: A Quest for Memory

The heroes arrive at what used to be Canterlot. With a 35.7% memory bank, Diamond readies his Mega Buster and prepares to storm the Skull Castle. His buster fired, but bounced off the shield.

"Crap! Wily got smart and put up a near impenetrable barrier!" Diamond said. "We'd need some SERIOUS weaponry or magic to break through this."

"Perhaps I can help you break this." the voice of a familiar robot hero stated. Mega Man warped in seconds later. "Hm. I think we'll need to destroy the source of this shield. Wily got smart and placed 4, though, and he scattered them across Dimension Equis."

"So, what do we do...uh..." Diamond asked.

"What's up, Diamond? Wily hit ya too hard, causing your memories to go wrong?" Mega asked. "This barrier's powered by four psycho-kinetic orbs, scattered all across Dimension Equis. How about this? We split into teams and head to where the orbs are supposed to be. That way, we'll be able to shut them all down. We can't destroy them or the altars they've been put on, and they'll reactivate within minutes of each other. We gotta shut all four down at the same time." he explained.

"Sounds good, but I never got your name, blue." Diamond said.

"Mega Man. Anyway, the teams will be this: me and Blues (Proto Man) will head to the Peaks of Peril. Rainbow Dash and Flutters, you head north to the Crystal Empire. Twi and Pinkie, you head to the Changeling hive, leaving AJ and Rarity to head over to Starlight's old village. Be careful of any Robot Masters that may be there and take these communicators. Once you're in place, wait for my signal. Diamond, once the shield is down, you head in and stop Wily. We won't have time to get back and follow you in, so you'll have to go in alone." Mega Man explained.

"And...what do I do for the time being?" Diamond asked.

"Just...don't die. We'll let you know when we're ready." Mega told him. Get into your respective pairs and head to where you need to go. Remember, wait for my signal and shut those orbs down!" he commanded the others, and they set off.
