Rock tries to stop the men but cannot break the first rule of robotics. He realizes he is powerless. Dr. Light begins to distract Harvey by debating with him in circles while Mega Man, Rush, and Quake Woman join Elec Man and Pharaoh Man. The split up to find and disable the bombs hidden in the building, as well as "defeating" the Emerald Spears men without hurting them. Quake Woman and Elec Man both disable a bomb and Pharaoh Man is close to another while Rock and Rush manage to trap two Emerald Spears men in a room.

She later uses her phone to see if the police are coming but picks up on Harvey's transmission. The noise attracts some Emerald Spears soldiers, who begin to chase them.

Harvey is losing the debate with the doctors, and Xander has had enough. He pulls Harvey aside and kicks him in the face, assuming control of Emerald Spears and threatening to destroy the robots and the doctors.

Dr. Wily is examining a strange device in the Lanfront Ruins when a number of cords steal his laptop from him. They stab it and steal its information, which includes blueprints and plans for Wily's Robot Masters. Suddenly Quick Man emerges from the core of the machine, his last memories of his fight with Mega Man. Wily is surprised and tells Quick Man of what happened and uses the machine to instantly restore his set of Robot Masters. Heat Man, Quick Man, and he are later exploring the ruins when they find an ancient Robot Master (Shadow Man) and bring him to the computer to be restored. The computer and his Robot Masters are constructing a new base. Another Robot Master appears from the core, this time Magnet Man, who brings a message from his builder, Ra Moon. Ra Moon says that Wily's lab and army will be ready soon.
