Story
"Cossack to Mega Man! Cossack to Mega Man! Come in, Mega Man!

"Proto Man has gone wild! City Hall and spaceport have been totally destroyed and the city's power grid is in shambles. I've never see destruction on this scale before!

"I know you're worried about Dr. Light, but your first duty is to free the city from the grip of Proto Man's robots. I can modify your reactor to give the Mega Buster a little more power, but the rest is up to you. Dr. Light and I have been working on a special project, but it's not finished yet. Maybe I can get it working, it might give you an edge.

"Remember to watch your back, Mega Man. Proto Man seems to have become more ruthless than we thought possible. Good Luck!

Cossack Out!"

Actual Story
About two months after the events of Mega Man IV (sometime during the year 2011), Proto Man went to Light Labs and kidnapped Dr. Light, leaving behind his signature yellow scarf. Then, an all-new army of Robot Masters under his command began to attack the cities and the Space Port near Light Labs, so Dr. Cossack, who had become Light's new colleague at Light Labs, armed Mega Man with the new robotic bird, Beat, and sent him after Proto Man. However, when he confronted him, the real Proto Man showed up and revealed the fake to be a robot called Dark Man, and upon its defeat, Dr. Wily showed up and challenged Mega Man to come and get Dr. Light. Mega Man defeated Wily and freed Light, but when Wily's castle collapsed, Proto Man had to save them from being crushed by the building.
