On day 1 of the contest, things seemed to progress as normal. Or so they thought.
The home viewing audience immedietly detested Dasmos aka Wernstrom. They disliked his smug attitude, the way he belittled Professor Farnsworth and most of all, they hated his sloppy handwriting. So, as he was voted out of the fair, he was reminded, 'Penmenship counts'. None of this was a big deal since he was a regular scientist or townie anyways.
What was more interesting was the death of Dr. 'Vudu' Wily. He had been gloating all day that his new invention 'Kill Mega Man Man' would finally rid him of his adversary. He claimed that thanks to a special truth serum he invented, he knew the weakness of his foe.
However, later in the day, Vudu became seriously agitated. He spoke in whispers of a coming doom to everyone there. That night, he was found dead. During the night, he was killed by a robot master called 'Wo-Man'. Everyone thought it had something to do with his vendetta he kept speaking about and dismissed it as a tragic event though at the same time, it did mean less competition.
No one realized at the time that with his truth serum, Vudu had uncovered the conspiracy of scientists willing to kill for their prize. They had to keep Vudu from using his truth serum and exposing them. Thus, they made their own robot master 'Wo-Man' and killed him. So, Vudu actually died from the Mafia hit.
But, like I said, no one realized it at the time and with the next day of competition, they put his tragic death out of their minds and moved on.
Day 2 went as follows.
