Summary

 * Previous Part ←—→ Next Part

At the hidden lab on the Lost Hex, the Maverick mastermind Sigma, alongside the kidnapped scientists Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily, witnessed the activation of the master Unity Engine unit, with Sigma mentioning the humming of the unit and asks the doctor what it means as the energy is entering him. Wily then whispers to Eggman that they may have done their plan too well, with Eggman explaining that the true plan hadn't even started yet. Sigma then gloated that the two worlds are coming together as one, and explains that it means he can command the Genesis Portals to consume all worlds.

As Mega Man and Sonic's worlds are merging together, Sonic Man and M'egga Man are then attacking each other, as their secondary programming has been activated to neutralize the other target. Amy Rose and Tails, alongside Flash Man and Hard Man, witness this, and also noted deduced their connection to their original identities of Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man (with Amy Rose wondering what Eggman did to him, and Flash Man expressing suspicion of Dr. Wily's involvement in Mega Man being modified due to his doing something similar in the past). Elsewhere, the New Freedom Fighters proceeded find Snake Man and Spark Man nearby, with the cybernetic member Bunnie Rabbot asking Sally Acorn whether they should attack the robots or retreat. Sally Acorn, however, is unsure what to do, as while they are robot, they also had been previously fighting against Sonic Robot. Elsewhere, Antoine D'Coolette appeared in front of Break Man and Bubble Man, with Bubble Man telling the other Robot Masters to attack the "giant animal things" before they attack anyone else, with Break Man telling the other Robot Masters not to antagonize them. Part of a nearby building broke apart, endangering civilians, with Sally ordering Bunnie and Gemerl to ignore the Robots for now and save the civilians, which they proceeded to do by grabbing the woman and the slab with four people on it respectively.
