Star Force: Counterattack! FM Cluster

Plot Synopsis
The FMians have some vague ideas about human emotions and they figure if they just cause havoc on a wide scale, they'll be able to recharge the Andromeda Key. Taurus and Wolf jump the gun a bit and start a riot in the city by attacking people. MegaMan quickly shows up and begins fighting them. To the FMian's surprise, MegaMan still has his Star Force abilities which frighten them.

This time however, thanks to Cygnus' system, Cancer is able to upload battle cards to Taurus and Wolf, giving them abilities they've never had before to counter MegaMan. This makes the fight a bit more even as MegaMan dodges their wild fire at him. At the same time, the other FMians watching from their hideout notice the emblems on Taurus Fire and Wolf Woods are draining of their color. This is a system put in by Cygnus' machine which tracks their EM usuage, and it drains faster with the use of the battle cards. When it empties, Taurus and Wolf dematerialize back to their FM forms. Knowing they have no chance of beating MegaMan now, they escape.

Geo returns home and is worried that the FMians are trying to recharge Andromeda. The FMians analyze their strategy and then check the Andromeda Key to see if it had collected any energy, but unfortunately for them it had not. They wonder if the attack wasn't strong enough. The camera then focuses to Gemini Spark watching from far away, holding the real Andromeda Key which actually has collected some negative energy.

Critique
The rules of the game have to change in order to make the FMians pose any sort of threat to MegaMan and that's what this episode is about. The setup is pretty good and the fighting is decent as well. The reveal at the end seals this episode and makes the viewer excited for what's to come.

Rating: Thumbs Up!
